We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes
"I thought you died alone
A long, long time ago"
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face with

We climbed and we climbed
Oh, how we climbed
My, how we climbed
Over the stars to top Tiger Mountain
Forcing the lines through the snow

If there's somethin strange
In your neighborhood
Who ya gonna call?
If it's somethin' weird
& it don't look good
Who ya gonna call?
If you're seein things
Runnin thru your head
Who can you call?
An invisible man
Sleepin in your bed
Who ya gonna call?

I wanna go
But I hate to leave you
You know I hate to leave you
Oh-oh, oh-oh
You
If you break my heart, I'll go
But I'll be back again

I'm not content to be with you
in the daytime
Girl I want to be with you
all of the time
The only time I feel alright
is by your side
Girl I want to be with you
all of the time
All day
and all of the night

I'm looking at myself
Reflections of my mind
It's just the kind of day
to leave myself behind
So gently swaying
through the fairy-land of love
If you'll just come with me
and see the beauty of
Tuesday Afternoon
