(Everything is catching on fire) Yes
Everything is catching on fire
(Yes everything is catching on fire)

Fingertips

I hear the wind blow
I hear the wind blow
It seems to say,
"Hello.  Hello.
I'm the one who loves you so."

Hey now everybody now
Hey now everybody
Hey now everybody now

Who's that standing at the window?

I found a new friend underneath my pillow

Come on and wreck my car
Come on (Augh!!) and wreck my car
Come on and wreck my car
come on (Yeah!!) and wreck my car

Aren't you the guy who hit me in the eye? (Yes!)
Aren't you the guy who hit me in the eye?

Please pass the milk, please
Please pass the milk, please
Please pass the milk, please

Leave me alone
Leave me alone

Who's knocking on the wall?

All alone, all alone
All by myself

What's that blue thing doing here?

Something grabbed ahold of my hand
I didn't know what had my hand
But that's when all my troubles began

I don't understand you (I don't understand you)
I do not understand you (I do not understand you)
I don't understand the things you say
I can't understand a single word
I don't understand you (I don't understand you)
I cannot understand you (I cannot understand you)
I not stand you (I not stand you)
No understando (No understando)

I turned around
To see the sound
I turned around to see the thing that made the sound

Mysterious whisper (Put your hands up people, I've got a wireless mic)
Mysterious whisper (Put your hands up and sway to John Linnell) 
Mysterious whisper 
Mysterious whisper

The day that love came to play

I'm having a heart attack (I'm a Transformer for your love baby)
I'm having a heart attack (Optimus Prime)
I'm having a heart attack (Two arms and four wheels to roll you)
I'm having a - I'm having a -

Fingertips
Fingertips

I walk alone, darkened corridors
and I walk alone, darkened corridors
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
walk alone 
darkened corridors

JF: Thank you so much, you've been a great audience!  Good night!
JL: See ya later!
