Into The Nightilife
(Peer Åström, Johan Bobäck, Cyndi Lauper, Max Martin)

Got this endless itch to ride / Into the night
Fortune cookie says I'm right / Kung Foo like

Shake your body Mister, Gonna make ya body blister, say hey, hey, hey
Don't wanna have ta make ya, I don't wanna have ta shake ya down, hey, hey, hey

I'll take ya till ya all spun up
Pitter, patter doesn't matter what you got
I'll take ya till ya all spun up, And in love
And into the night life
I'll take ya till ya all spun up, And in love
And into the night life

Want to dress for you tonight, Under the light
Shot up like a satellite, Into the night
Shake ya money maker
I will never ba a faker now, hey hey hey
Leave 'em standing waitin'
Till they're practically faintin' now, hey hey hey

I'll take ya till ya all spun up...

Shirtless wonders wreck my sight
Under the light

Set Your Heart
(Victor Carstarphen, Cyndi Lauper, Gene McFadden, Richard Morel, John Whitehead)

When your heart is beating black and blue
And a cold world's looking back at you
When you're fading low around the bend
Go on turn around you'll see me
I will always be your friend

Set your heart free
Set your heart free...

Said you can't say much about today
Just that dark cloud coming back your way
And that your dreams are all worn thin
Well, you better stop with all that talk
Before it all starts happening

Set your heart free...
Listen to your heart...

When your heart is beating black and blue
And the old world's knocking down on you
And you're starting to become unglued
Don't go there, come on, you know I love you

Set your heart free...

Change of Heart
(Cyndi Lauper, Essra Mohawk)

Here I am, just like I said I would be
I'm your friend, just like you think it should be
Did you think I would stand here andlie
As our moment was passing us by
Oh I am here

Waiting for your change of heart
It just takes a beat, to turn it around
Yes I'm waiting for you change of heart
At the edge of my seat, please turn it around

Days go by, leaving me with a hunger
I could fly, back to when we were younger
When adventures like cars we would ride
And the years lied ahead still untried
While I stand here

Waiting for your change of heart...

Blind leading blind
Never hear the laughter
Search through time
Nothing reveals the answer
If it's truth that you're looking to find
It is nowhere outside of your mind
I bide my time

Waiting for you change of heart...

I Drove All Night
(Tom Kelly, Billy Steinberg)

I had to escape, the city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead, uh, huh

Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night

What in this world keep us from tearing apart
No matter where I go I hear the beating of your heart
I think about you
When the night is cold and dark
No one can move me
The way that you do
Nothing erases the feeling between me and you

I drove all night to get to you...

Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you...

When You Were Mine
(Prince)

When u were mine
I gave u all of my money
Time after time
U done me wrong
Cause, just like a train
U let all my friends come over and eat
And u were so strange
U didn't have the decency to change the sheets
Oh girl, when u were mine
I use to let u wear all my clothes
U were so fine
Maybe that's the reason that it hurt me so
I know, that you're goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more mine than I did when u were mine
When u were mine
U were kindasorta my best friend
So I was blind
I let u fool around
I never cared
I never was the kind to make a fuss
When he was there
Sleepin in between the two of us
I know, that you`re goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more than I did when u were mine
When u were mine
U were all I ever wanted to do
Now I spend my time
Following him whenever he's with u
I know that you're goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more than I did when u were mine

She Bop
(Rick Chertoff, Gary Corbett, Cyndi Lauper, Stephen Broughton Lunt)

We-hell- I see them every night in tight blue jeans
In the pages of a blue boy magazine
Hey I've been thinking of a new sensation
I'm picking up - good vibration -
Oop - she bop -

Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar
Huh, yea, I wanna go south n get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop - or I'll go blind
Oop - she bop -

She bop - he bop - a - we bop
I bop - you bop - a - they bop
Be bop - be bop - a - lu - she bop,
I hope He will understand
She bop - he bop - a - we bop
I bop - you bop - a - they bop
Be bop - be bop - a - lu - she bop
Oo - oo - she - do - she bop - she bop

Hey, hey - they say I better get a chaperone
Because I can't stop messin' with the danger zone
No, I won't worry, and I won't fret -
Ain't no law against it yet.
Oop - she bop - she bop -

She bop - he bop - we bop.....

Rocking Chair
(Felix Buxton, Cyndi Lauper, Simon Ratcliffe)

All she ever wanted when the day turned indigo,
Was to leave her grubby life behind her
To the buzzing streets below
Tainted passion and temptation
Led her down a trail of lust
Now the fate of Faye Delroy
Is written in the dust
Written in the dust

Oh my rockin chair
Rock me tender in the night air
Oh my rockin chair
Rock me back and make me be there

She said her head don't move the same way
That ther hand ususlly does
That she's got memory bubble
Almost like the rest of us
And ADD salamanders
Cannot figure what to wear
And they'll be standing in the closet
And every dress is savoir faire
Every dress is savoir faire

Oh my rockin chair
Rock me tender in the night air...
Rock me here rock me there
Rock me in my rocking chair
My oh my, rock me tender in the night air...

Za va ba, za ba bi ya... ca va pas? za ba bi ya...
Romeo Boyz, they'll b dancing with the Cha Cha Girlz

Oh my rockin chair
Rock me tender in the night air
Oh my rockin chair
Rock me back and make me be there...

Echo
(Åström, Bobäck, Cyndi Lauper, William Wittman)

Woke up to the clock, what knob makes it stop
Time to be aware, time to just be there
You go, go, go, go, I go, go, go, go,
Conversations rare, trail off in the air
Echo, echo, home, home

All that rolls our way, wheels that time will play
Happiness grows back, heartache leaves a scratch
You go. go, go, go, I go, go, go, go
Everyplace I go, never told you so
Echo... echo... home home

All of my days, all of my life
Standing by you
All of my days, all of my life
I will find you
All of my days, all of my life
Standing by you
All of my days all of my life
Landing next to you

When you're on the top, notice what you've got
I will be your frail, when your on the trail
You go. go, go, go, I go, go, go, go
Everything you know, everywhere you go
Echo... echo... home home...

All Through The Night
(Jules Shear)

All through the night
I'll be awake and I'll be with you
All through the night
This precious time when time is new
Oh, all through the night today
Knowing that we feel the same without saying

We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

All through the night
Stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what by day they lack
Oh under those white street lamps
There is a little chance they may see

We have no past we won't reach back...

Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
Let me be there let me stay there awhile

We have no past we won't reach back...

What's Going On
(Renaldo Benson, Alfred Cleveland, Marvin Gaye)

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
War is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding, yeah, today

Aw, picket lines, picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me so you can see

Oh what's going on
Tell me what's goin' on

Mother, mother
Ev'ry body thinks we're wrong
Baby who are they to judge us
'Cause our hair is long
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

Good God

Lyfe (Bring ya to the Brink)
(Roger Fife, M. Greene, Cyndi Lauper, Sammy Merendino)

Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink

But I'm learning to time myself
Turn it easy over
Put some spice back on the shelf

Like elevator buttons go on and on
Doors that open and shut without a cause
There's something greater than I dare to know
Look at me, pull the thread on this sweater
And watch it go

Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can shake ya, it can make ya...
The struggle hard and deep
Of what I learn to keep along the way everyday
Little one, I take your hand
And wonder how I'm gonna help ya be a man...
And how I'll help ya understand...

Lyfe it can shake ya, it could make ya...

Two steps forward, one step back
Cover my mouth, choke
And pull down my hat

Into the seamless hope of an endless drive
Clinging to the rhythm of a lyfe like stride
White washing down trodden people
They're displayed like a grand masquerade
Making us feel better that we are brave>

Like letters that fade into dust
Like harmony, kindness and trust
Wisdom eluding me, wise guys using me
Peace, peace in, peace out
That's right, what 's it all about?
Huh?

Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya...

True Colors
(Tom Kelly, Billy Steinberg)

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged oh, I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember when
I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
Your true colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow

(Can't remember when I last saw you laughing)

If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors...

Girls just want to have Fun
(Robert Hazard)

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls just want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have--

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls-- they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls--they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun...

Time After Time
(Rob Hyman, Cyndi Lauper)

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

You said go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me...

Same Ol' Story
(Cyndi Lauper, Richard Morel)

People slippin' in the rain
I watch them get up again
It makes me feel like I can too
Hey hey ya

Just when I get off the ground
Your back tryin' to put me down
Like some simpleton you can use

Money Changes Everything
(Tom Gray)

She said I'm sorry baby I'm leaving you tonight
I found someone new he's waitin' in the car outside
Ah honey how could you do it
We swore each other everlasting love
She said well yeah I know but when
We did - there was one thing we weren't
Really thinking of and that's money -

Money changes everything
Money, money changes everything
We think we know what we're doin'
That don't mean a thing
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything

They shake your hand and they smile
And they buy you a drink
They say we'll be your friends
We'll stick with you till the end
Ah but everybody's only
Looking out for themselves
And you say well who can you trust
I'll tell you it's just
Nobody else's money -

Money changes everything
Money changes everything
We think we know what we're doin
We don't pull the strings
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything

Money changes everything
Money changes everything
We think we know what we're doing
We don't know a thing
It's all in the past now

Money changes everything
Money changes everything
Money changes everything

El álbum Bring ya to the Brink

Cyndi Lauper realizó a fines de mayo de 2008 el décimo álbum de su carrera, y el primero con material nuevo desde al año 2001. El disco, que originalmente se llamaría Savoir-faire, se editó bajo el título Bring ya to the Brink, algo así como "Te llevo al extremo", que se escucha en el coro de la canción "Lyfe". En la preparación del álbum, Cyndi visitó Inglaterra y Suecia durante el verano europeo de 2007 a escribir las letras y componer las canciones del álbum. Varias de ellas las compuso con DJ's como Basement Jaxx, Digital Dog, Dragonette, Richard Morel, Kleerup entre otros. Se trata de un álbum de música bailable en el que se mezclan el Dance-pop y la música electrónica, con letras festivas pero con contenido social e incluso político, a pesar que la mayoría de ellas considera temáticas de la vida cotidiana.

El listado de tracks es el siguiente (entre paréntesis los compositores):

1 "High & Mighty" (Jesse Houk, Cyndi Lauper) Produce C. Lauper y Scumfrog
2 "Into the Nightlife" (Peer Åström, Johan Bobäck, Cyndi Lauper, Max Martin) Produce Åström, Bobäck, y C Lauper
3 "Rockin' Chair" (Felix Buxton, Cyndi Lauper, Simon Ratcliffe) Produce Basement Jaxx y C. Lauper
4 "Echo" (Åström, Bobäck, Cyndi Lauper, William Wittman) Produce Åström, Bobäck y C. Lauper
5 "Lyfe (Bring Ya To The Brink)" (Roger Fife, M. Greene, Cyndi Lauper, Sammy Merendino) Produce DJ Emz y C. Lauper
6 "Same Ol' Story" (C. Lauper, Richard Morel) Produce C. Lauper y Morel
7 "Raging Storm" (Cyndi Lauper, Richard Morel) Produce C. Lauper y Morel
8 "Lay Me Down" (Andreas Kleerup, Cyndi Lauper) Produce Kleerup y C. Lauper
9 "Give It Up" (Steve Cornish, Cyndi Lauper, Nicholas Mace) Produce Digital Dog y C. Lauper
10 "Set Your Heart" (Victor Carstarphen, Cyndi Lauper, Gene McFadden, Richard Morel, John Whitehead) Produce C. Lauper y Morel
11 "Grab a Hold" (Dan Kurtz, Cyndi Lauper, Martina Sorbara) Produce Dragonette y C. Lauper
12 "Rain on Me" (P. Chou, Axel Hedfors, Alexander Kronlund, Cyndi Lauper) Produce Axwell y C. Lauper
13 "Got Candy" (Cyndi Lauper, Richard Morel) Produce C. Lauper y Morel
14 "Can't Breathe" (P. Chou, Kronlund, Cyndi Lauper) Produce C. Lauper y W. Wittman

Los tracks 13 y 14 sólo aparecen en la edición japonesa del álbum.

El primer single lanzado exclusivamente en Japón fue "Set Your Heart" en formato promocional durante el mes de marzo. La canción contiene una interpolación de la canción "Where Are All My Friends" escrita por Gene McFadden, John Whitehead and Victor Carstarphen y que fuera un éxito de Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes en el año 1975. Es una canción de música disco renovada cuya nueva letra fue incorporada por Cyndi.
El single fue bien recepcionado por las radios japonesas alcanzando el #4 lugar en el Tokio Hot 100 y el #11 lugar en el Billboard Japan Hot 100 Singles. La canción se utilizó en la campaña de publicidad para el año 2008 del automóvil modelo X Zio de Toyota, protagonizada por el actor y cantante Takeshi Kaneshiro. Cyndi se embarcó en una gira de Australia realizando una presentación en el Rey's Park Botanic Gardens en Perth, Western Australia, apoyada por Katie Noonan y Kate Miller-Heidke el 22 de febrero de 2008.
La primera versión de la canción fue interpretada constantemente durante la gira True Colors 2007 con batería y pandero, seguido de una versión remezclada de "Girls Just Want to Have Fun".
El segundo single se editó el 6 de mayo, a tres semanas del lanzamiento del álbum Bring ya to the Brink. Se trata de "Same Ol' Story" (La misma vieja historia). El sencillo se editó en formato Paid download (descarga pagada por Internet) en iTunes Store y Amazon.com y se transformó en la canción más bajada durante la primera semana de mayo en todo el mundo. El sencillo contiene varias remezclas de la canción que fueron puestos en el Paid download por afamados DJs como Ralphi Rosario, Razor N Guido y el propio Richard Morel. La canción con ribetes de música disco, se acerca al dance-pop europeo en cuanto a estilo. La letra de la canción ha sido polémica por el uso del término "fucking", el cual se repite constantemente en el coro. Por ello se creó una versión "limpia" disponible en iTunes la cual reemplaza la letra "Same ol' fucking story" por "Same ol', same ol' story". El sencillo alcanzó el #1 lugar del Billboard Hot Dance Club Play en Estados Unidos, siendo el tercer sencillo de la Lauper en alcanzar esta posición en este ranking, después de "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" en 1984 y "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" en 1984.

El 22 de septiembre, también en formato Paid download, se lanza el tercer sencillo del álbum "Into the Nightlife" (En la vida nocturna), una canción de música electrónica. En una entrevista con Entertainment Weekly, Cyndi dijo que el título de la canción deriva del libro de Henry Miller llamado "Into The Night Life" que inspiró a Lawrence Ferlinghetti a pintar "La Mente de Coney Island", que influyó a describir las imágenes de la vida nocturna en la ciudad de Nueva York. El sencillo fue lanzado en las estaciones de radio del Reino Unido a principios de septiembre de 2008. La canción alcanzó nuevamente el #1 lugar del Billboard Hot Dance Club Play en Estados Unidos y el #2 lugar en el UK Dance Chart. Además ingresó a los rankings de Australia y Francia a los primeros lugares. El video musical de la canción (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPC2l2li6JY) fue filmado en el Splash Bar en la ciudad de Nueva York el 20 de mayo de 2008. Muchos fanáticos fueron invitados a entrar de extras en el vídeo. El cantante y compositor judío de música R&B Ari Gold y el músico y estrella de filmes porno Colton Ford (Glenn Soukesian) aparecen en el video bailando detrás de Cyndi en el club nocturno, mientras que el cantante y guitarrista canadiense de la banda de rock The Cliks, Lucas Silveira aparece besando a una mujer no identificada en el club.
