Kansas - Perfect Lover

 

It's in your head, they're telling you it's in your head
It's a figment of your imagination
It isn't there, they're telling you it isn't there
You're a victim of your infatuation
What do I think that it is I see? I keep asking myself
Nothing like this has ever happened to me...

There's a perfect lover running through my head
There's a perfect lover; I can see her in my head
Perfect lover. Lover

They keep telling you - they keep telling you, it's just a fascination
Why don't they listen - no one listens to what I am sayin"!
And everyone tells you she just isn't there, that it just couldn't be
If only they knew how real she is to me...

There's a perfect lover running through my head
There's a perfect lover; I can see her in my head
There's a perfect lover running through my head

There's a perfect lover; I can see her in my head

Sometimes I hear the cry, (I hear it crying out)
Your voice from deep inside, (inside, inside, inside...)
They're stealing you from me...
Ever be...

I'm not looking through the eyes of a desperate stranger
What I envision is so real, I don't want to change her
And sometimes I feel like she's standing right there
Like I could reach out and touch her
Only I know how real she is to me...

There's a perfect lover running through my head
There's a perfect lover; I can see you in my head
There's a perfect lover running through my head
Perfect lover. Lover 

 

Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son (Up!)

 

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Ah

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man
Well, it surely means that I don't know

On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more no!

Carry on
You will always remember
Carry on
Nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry
Don't you cry no more

No more! 

Kansas - Play The Game Tonight

 

You think that something's happening
And it's bigger than your life
But it's only what you're hearing
Will you still remember
When the morning light has come
Will the songs be playing over and over
Till you do it all over again

Play, play the game tonight
Can you tell me if it's wrong or right
Is it worth the time, is it worth the price
Do you see yourself in a white spotlight
Then play the game tonight

And when the curtains open
To the roaring of the crowd
You will feel it all around you
Then it finally happens
And it's all come true for you
And the songs are playing over and over
Till you do it all over again

Play, play the game tonight
Can you tell me if it's wrong or right
Is it worth the time, is it worth the price
Do you see yourself in a white spotlight
Then play the game tonight

Kansas - Dust In The Wind

 

I close my eyes
Only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity

Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Now don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
(All we are is dust in the wind)
Dust in the wind
(Everything is dust in the wind)
Everything is dust in the wind
(In the wind)
