  sözleri de şöyle:
  
  [i: if she runs]
  
  if she runs, let her run, run, run
  just hope that she comes back
  if she breaks let her break, break, break
  let apologies attract
  
  and is she's free let her be, let her be
  she's not in such bad company
  the big man's still got her name written on the wall
  
  if she cries let her cry, cry, cry
  'till there isn't anymore
  if she cracks, let her crack, crack, crack
  if that's what che's looking for
  
  and if she waits, let her wait, wait, wait
  you'll have to leave this one to fate
  it can't ever be too late, when she comes to call
  
  it's hard -- living with such uncertainty
  it's hard -- climbing the statue of liberty
  it's hard -- calming the beatle inside of me
  it's hard -- missing my max and melody
  
  [ii: mr. wonderful]
  
  her lips were ruby red
  she had a pretty head
  not even once did she miss sunday school
  remember what mama said, "stick to the rules"
  
  this boy was something else
  someone she knew so well
  echoes of snakes in paradise
  saw the strangest fire burning in his eyes.
  
  his name was wonderful
  and it's wonderful, just to be near him
  his name was majesty
  and his majesty's requesting your presence
  
  he took her for a ride
  into the starless night
  talked about far away place he's been
  could take her down to the city of sin
  
  "grab it while you are young
  trust me there's nothing wrong
  but she feard what was 'round the bend"
  said "thank you, but no thank's, 'cause i've got a friend"
  
  his name was wonderful
  and it's wonderful, just to be near him
  his name was majesty
  and his majesty's requesting your presence
  
  [iii: lost and found pt. 1]
  
  don't you think if you could be lost
  don't you think you can be found
  don't you think if you were the world, you'd turn it around
  don't you start look behind
  don't better stand up 'cause this is your time
  don't you think that you'd better start changing your mind
  
  [iv: temple of the gods]
  
  in the temple of the gods
  we can get it on
  in the temple of the gods
  we will make our home
  far from these boulevards
  we will plunge headlong
  in the temple of the gods
  we will sing this song
  
  give all the reasons that you know
  slide down where the time moves nice and slow
  ease back and relax
  no figures and no fax
  awakening the stranger in your soul
  
  in the temple of the gods
  we can get it on
  in the temple of the gods
  we will make our home
  far from these boulevards
  we will plunge headlong
  in the temple of the gods
  we will sing this song
  
  [v: motherless children/if she runs (reprise)]
  
  left the countryside for the city
  she resides now on the second floor
  no more gardening in the backyard
  busy keepin' the wolves from the door
  
  motherless children, ain't going nowhere
  running in circles, time after time
  careless, confused, frozen, faithless
  dreaming this dream to ease our minds
  
  and if she runs
  let her run
  come on 'cause now the time has come
  the big man's got the mother and the son
  written on the wall
  
  don't want to hear it now.....
