PLAYING TO WIN

If you want me, come and get me,

I'm no waiting any longer,
you know that I'm playing to win this time.

When you make your move, I won't hesitate,

you should be playing to win this time.

When you make your move, I won't hesitate,
if you take too long, you could be too late,
this time I'm playing to win.

All those wasted years, I didn't know I was only emotion away,
I got what I wanted from me,
but I didn't see it was not what I needed,
I was a fool,
this time I'm playing to win.

If you want me, come and get me,
you don't have a chance if you don't move now,
I'm no waiting any longer,
you know that I'm playing to win this time.

this time I'm playing to win,
when you make your move, I won't hesitate,
if you take too long, you could be too late,
this time I'm playing to win,
this time I'm playing to win,
this time I'm playing to win,
this time I'm playing to win ...

REAPPEAR

I wanna get to you - where did you go
Is there another world - that's part of you
(is there another world ?), when will you reappear

It's a mystery, it never happened before,
I looked up at the sky, you disappeared through a door,
was it imagination - my head wasn't clear,
now I keep wondering - when will you reappear.

I wanna get to you, where did you go,
I need to know, when will you reappear,
is there another world, that's part of you,
I wish I knew, when will you reappear.

I was attracted to you by an unknown force,
I'll find out where you come from - I've got to get the source,
but I get so dizzy in this atmosphere,
and now I'm wondering - when will you reappear

I wanna get to you, where did you go,
I need to know, when will you reappear,
is there another world, that's part of you,
I wish I knew, when will you reappear.

I thought I knew you well - I didn't know you at all,
I let you take me up so high - that was my downfall,
but now you're gone and I'm waiting here,
can't you hear me callin' out - when will you reappear

I wanna get to you, where did you go,
I need to know, when will you reappear,
is there another world, that's part of you,
I wish I knew, when will you reappear,
I wanna get to you, where did you go,
I need to know, when will you reappear,
is there another world, that's part of you,
I wish I knew, when will you reappear.

WHEN THE WAR IS OVER

When the war is over got to get away
Pack my bags to no place in no time no day
You and I we used each other shoulder
Still so young but somehow so much older
How can I go home and not get blown away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

When the war is over got to start again
Try to hold a trace of what it was back then
You and I we sent each other stories
Just a page I'm lost in all it's glories
How can I go home and not get blown away

You and I had our sights set on something
Hope this doesn't mean our days are numbered
I've got plans for more than a wanted man
All around this chaos and madness
Can't help feelin' nothin' more than sadness
Only choice to face it the best I can.

DON'T BLAME ME

I was just thirteen when I left home,
living in my daddy's shadow,
there was so much goin' on that he couldn't feel,
there were times when I was scared,
hell, but nobody cared,
and I could tell that the love he spoke
of just wasn't real.

Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way,
please let me go, don't ask me to stay,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.

I love to travel on the back-road,
it's the only life for me,
I know when to go, I sense when to go back, I wanna be free,
there are days when I can move the earth,
and time when I've found what people are worth,
and I can't accept the way we've come to be.

Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way,
please let me go, don't ask me to stay,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me,
don't blame me if I just don't like it that way,
please let me go, don't ask me to stay,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.

Then a lady came into my life - she turned me upside down,
I was so naive, had my heart in my own sleeve,
I love to see her around,
there were times when I was glad to pay the price,
but there were nights she was cold as ice,
so I ran away - and I'm still running now.

Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way,
please let me go, don't ask me to stay,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.
Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way,
please let me go, don't ask me to stay,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.
don't blame me, don't blame me,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me,
don't blame me, don't blame me,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.

I hate to have to disagree, I only wanna be me,
never can just go along with the things I dislike,
I can't help it if I wanna fight,
don't wanna have to walk away, don't wanna stay another day,
you can't appreciate my point of view, so I may as well as go,
and you know that you could not blame me, don't blame me,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me,
don't blame me, just don't blame me.

WHEN CATHEDERALS WERE WHITE

The world goes to war, but who is it for,
can we sleep in our beds at night,
and remember the pain, and not want to regain,
when cathedrals were white.

You know I still think of you, and all we went through,
but the years have now faded the light,
is your love still the same as it was on that day,
when cathedrals were white.

All those onward Christian soldiers,
fighting onward Christian wars,
are you surprised when you discover,
just what they're fighting for ?

We run through the rain and we get through the pain,
and we teach all our kids wrong from right,
but can we ever say that we love like the day,
when cathedrals were white.

All those leaders and cheaters,
disguise their deeds with a smile,
so nonchalant, as they turn to tell you,
all your thoughts are on file.

And who is to blame that we've come to this day,
when no one remembers what it was like,
back when honesty reigned, when we loved not for gain,
when cathedrals were white,
when cathedrals were white.

DOWN ON THE BORDER

I just got back from the border,
and what I saw made me know for sure we're out of order.
I had a dream about New Orleans,
in Jackson Square I heard a prayer, down in New Orleans,
on the run there's a life for livin',
but the people there, they just don't care,
livin' their life like a millionaire, down on the border.

You'll never see me in orld Iran,
the women there don't know who I am, in old Iran,
and I never will go to Singapore,
the people there will cut your hair, in Singapore,
on their streets there's life a plenty,
but they'll never know about the freedom show,
they're livin' in darkness, years ago, down on the border.

They build a wall at the border,
not to keep us out, but to leave no doubt, they're out of order,
and all the people who are trapped within,
serve to show just how far we'll go and how dumb we've been,
at the top life looks to easy,
but they'll never know what they'll never know,
they're much too busy countin' all their dough from the border,
from the border,
down on the border,
down on the border,
down on the border.

PAPER PARADISE

You find it hard to sleep at night,
this thing keeps you awake,
it's your life, it's your life,
your name's in all the papers
but they're calling you a fake,
in your life, in your life,
blinded by your vision it's so hard for you to see,
rich man, poor man wasn't just TV.

Hey, you're gonna lose your paper paradise,
it only takes a spark to make it burn,
you might blow a fuse in paper paradise,
what's it gonna take to make you learn,
you just can't make it work.

So much for your brain to do,
you can't maintain the place,
in your life, it's your life,
your house is like a phone booth,
you're so caught up in the race,
for your life, it's your life,
if you don't take the time to read the writing on the wall,
there'll be no one to catch you when you fall.

Hey, you're gonna lose your paper paradise,
it only takes a spark to make it burn,
you might blow a fuse in paper paradise,
what's it gonna take to make you learn,
you just can't make it work.

THE OTHER GUY

I found out that you care for another guy
I found out that you want for another smile
We are alone as two different people can be
And it's hurting me so just to know
That you don't care for me

The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
He won't understand when you're down the way that I did
We had it all you and I
We just need to try again

I found out that your hearts with another guy
You found out that you're telling another lie
We've come apart
We're going our own seperate ways
And you don't understand why I love you
And want you to stay...>

Chorus

You don't know it's me that you need
You're thinkin' of him and I can't compete
But I'm here to say I still want you back again

Chorus (3x)

[fade]

FACE IN THE CROWD

Is this the night I finally will see you ?
Is this the time I've waited for so long ?
Night after night I play this show without you
can't help but think about you in every song

Back in the wings somebody says "five minutes"
and soon the lights will dim out in the hall
I check the mirror, at the side of the stage I'm waiting
ready to meet the one I want most of all

I see your face in the crowd and I am crazy for you
you see me crying out loud
millions of faces, a sea before me, I can see
only you are the face in the crowd

With every song I really get to know you
a crowd of one, though there's 20.000 more
we are alone in the midst of all this madness
will you be there when I walk out the backstage door ?

Chorus

Before I know it the show's at its conclusion
I close my eyes on this visual love affair
and as I leave the theatre crowds are waiting
I turn to sign the last book and you are there

I saw your face in the crowd and I am crazy for you ...

IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME

I stand at the threshold, the world at my feet,
facing the music, defying defeat,
I'm waiting for the right time to shake it,
livin' for the right time to make it.

Stand by me and you will see that it's only a matter of time,
we will be one and I know it's just a matter of time,
soon you will see that it's only a matter of time,
change has to come and I know it's just a matter of time
(a matter of time, a matter of time, a matter of time ... )

I look to the future with hope in my heart,
it's there for the winning, I'm ready to start,
I'm ready for the right time to break it,
lookin' out for my time to make it.

Stand by me and you will see that it's only a matter of time,
we will be one and I know it's just a matter of time,
soon you will see that it's only a matter of time,
change has to come and I know it's just a matter of time
(a matter of time, a matter of time, a matter of time ... )

I'm going to set you right about me,
going to get the future I see,
living the life I know I should,
knockin' on wood ...

Stand by me and you will see that it's only a matter of time,
we will be one and I know it's just a matter of time,
soon you will see that it's only a matter of time,
change has to come and I know it's just a matter of time
(a matter of time, a matter of time, a matter of time ... ).

NO REINS ON ME

Used to be, you and me, we had some understanding,
easily, we could see each other's point of view,
but lately I find we've shifted in time,
nothin' to say, just want no reins on me.

No reins on me, just to satisfy you,
don't claim to be something different than you are,
it's plain to see why you do the things you do,
and now I want no reins on me.

Suddenly, I can see how much you used to use me,
eagerly, I thought I was free, under your control,
to break out and live, I need more than you can give,
and now I want no reins on me.

Everybody wants to put it on somebody else,
to carry on enjoying themselves
(no reins, no reins on me)
we're caught in the pain, it's so insane
(I want no reins ...)
it's anyone's game, I need no reins ....

Sad to see, you and me, we have no resolution,
one to one, it is said and done, way beyond control,
our lies are our truth,
possessive love and misspent youth,
and now I want no reins on me.

Just to satisfy you,
don't claim to be something different than you are,
it's plain to see why you do the things you do,
and now I want no reins on me.

FOREVER BLUE

Sometimes I wish I was a sailor
way out on the stormy sea,
far away from the city and all this misery,
and I wish that I could tell you just how much you mean to me,
no matter where I run to, I'll never lose your memory.

Sometimes I close my eyes and drift away,
I can't forget the things I didn't say,
I chose a life that took me away from you,
and I will be forever blue.

When you wake up in tomorrow
and I'm no longer by your side,
just don't think too much about me
and of the many times you've cried,
and wherever you may wander may good fortune be your guide,
go find another lover,
one who'll never leave your side.

Sometime I close my eyes and drift away ....

I chose a life that took me away from you,
and I will be forever blue.

IT WAS THE NIGHT

It was the night, it was the night before,
it was the night before we met, I sat alone
right by the phone, it was the night,
it was the day, it was the day you came,
it was the day you came my way, what can I say ?
You came to stay, it was the day.

There's a storm, outside my window,
flashes in the sky, what a night
I hear the voices calling,
and I see the people running in the light,
all this craziness I'm feeling just reminds me
that it really can't go on,
and I want so much to tell you
but the number you have given me is wrong.

It was the night, it was the night before,
it was the night before we met, I sat alone
right by the phone, it was the night,
it was the time, it was the time we had,
it was the time we had to live, our time to give
to be happy with, it was the time.

I'm sitting in my room with the silhouetted moon in my eye,
I stare into the darkness, and I see the planets hanging in the sky,
and this temporary feeling is just telling me I've seen it all before,
but the penetrating madness of the nightly news I really can't ignore.

It was the night,
we were drawn to the light,
we were climbing higher,
it was the day when we all came to say,
we were on fire - it was the night.

There are lovers on the roof,
they are waiting for the proof they can see,
there's an answer on its way
it was due back here today, to be free
and I thought that I should tell you
that you're just another image of my mind,
but you need to keep it secret
'cos these days secrets are so hard to find.

It was the night, it was the night before,
it was the night before we met, I sat alone
right by the phone, it was the night,
it was the day, it was the day you came,
it was the day you came my way, what can I say ?
You came to stay, it was the day,
it was the time,
it was the night.

HOW MANY NIGHTS

How many nights will go by searchin' for truth between the lines ?
How many dreams will come true before we believe what is coming through ?
How many days will it take and not give a damn about the bonds we break ?
'till we decide to unite, I wonder how many nights ?

On and on we go, the wind will blow our way,
and we take a chance that love will come to stay,
we could change the past if we had second sight,
but we still would say "I wonder how many nights ?"

How many nights will we sleep and not know a thing about the dreams we keep ?
How many tears 'till we know we can't have it all until we all let go ?
How many times will we break and come back again to make the same mistake ?
Until we find out who's right, I wonder how many nights ?

On and on we go, the wind will blow our way,
and we take a chance that love will come to stay,
we could change the past if we had second sight,
but we still would say "I wonder how many nights ?"

On and on we go (on and on we go)
and the wind will blow (and the wind will blow)
and we take a chance (and we take a chance),
on how many nights (on how many nights)
on and on we go (on and on we go)
and the winds will blow (on and on)

How many nights will transpire wanting for love and playing with fire ?
Do we know what we must learn before we can love and be loved in return ?
Until we ask ourselves why, I wonder how many nights ?

On and on we go, the wind will blow our way,
and we take a chance that love will come to stay,
we could change the past if we had second sight,
but we still would say "I wonder how many nights ?

THIN ICE

We're living on thin ice,
we're turning away from paradise,
our people are lying, our planet is crying,
we're walking a tightrope,
we're close to the edge and losing hope,
it's time for some action, is anyone trying ?

Thin ice, we're living on thin ice,
and I don't believe we know how wrong it is to throw it away, thin ice, we're playing with loaded dice,
we need to break through thin ice.

There's a madness that must cease,
we fight in the name of making peace,
soldiers of fortune, the champions we run to,
they come from the old school,
they'd love to rewrite the golden rule,
do it to others before you get done to.

Thin ice, we're living on thin ice,
and I don't believe we know how wrong it is to throw it away, thin ice, we're playing with loaded dice,
we need to break through thin ice.

I tell you, we're close to the edge,
I warn you, we don't have a minute,
hear me, I'm dying inside to tell you,
warnings, I know it is hard to
hear them, when you are alive and
learning, it's only your passion burning.

We're scraping the earth, and taking the souvenirs,
it's not gonna take much more, soon we'll know the score.  

Thin ice, we're living on thin ice,
and I don't believe we know how wrong it is to throw it away,
thin ice, we're playing with loaded dice,
we need to break through thin ice.

TIME FOR US

I wouldn't leave it too long, it's a fragile affair,
I wanna tell you what's wrong, but you're never there,
so many nights I wait at home,
I climb the stairs and sleep alone,
every time I reach for you, you reach for the phone, don't you care ?

Leave some time for us, find a moment to share,
leave some time for us, just a minute to spare,
there's still time enough and I have to believe you still care.

Your diary is full with the things that you do,
but I can't find a word about me and you,
I wanna hold you close to me,
and feel the way we used to be,
can't you feel how good we are when it's just you and me, won't you please?

Leave some time for us, find a moment to share,
leave some time for us, just a minute to spare,
there's still time enough and I have to believe you still care.

BLIND EYES

Old lady in the street ain't here no more,
got robbed last week at her own front door,
no one saw her fall and no one heard her cry,
everyone there just turned a blind eye.

Don't look left now don't look right,
take another step back, don't see no sight,
keep a straight face, lead a streetwise life,
if you were there could you turn a blind eye.

Blind eyes are weak, blind eyes are cruel,
look out for number one, survival's the rule,
look straight ahead on a one-way street,
let sleeping dogs lie, just turn a blind eye,
(don't look left - don't look right)
(let sleeping dongs lie - just turn a blind eye).

Maybe one day it'll happen to you,
you know lightning strikes without warning,
who'll see you struggle and who'll hear you cry,
when everybody there just turn a blind eye.

Blind eyes are weak, blind eyes are cruel,
look out for number one, survival's the rule,
look straight ahead on a one-way street,
let sleeping dogs lie, just turn a blind eye,
blind eyes are weak, blind eyes are cruel,
look out for number one, survival's the rule,
look straight ahead on a one-way street,
let sleeping dogs lie, just turn a blind eye,
blind eyes are weak, blind eyes are cruel,
look out for number one, survival's the rule,
look straight ahead on a one-way street,
let sleeping dogs lie, just turn a blind eye,
don't turn a blind eye,
don't turn a blind eye,
don't turn a blind eye ...

RELENTLESS

>When the war is over got to get away
Pack my bags to no place in no time no day
You and I i we used each other shoulder
Still so young but somehow so much older
How can I go home and not get blown away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

When the war is over got to start again
Try to hold a trace of what it was back then
You and I we sent each other stories
Just a page I'm lost in all it's glories
How can I go home and not get blown away

You and I had our sights set on something
Hope this doesn't mean our days are numbered
I've got plans for more than a wanted man
All around this chaos and madness
Can't help feelin' nothin' more than sadness
Only choice to face it the best I can.

PIECE OF THE DREAM

I'm spending way too much time on my own,
I've missed a lot and I'm tired of being alone,
you call me out with that look in your eye,
it's time I answered and kissed this life goodbye,
I toss and turn every night in my sleep,
I've locked myself inside and lost the key.

I want a piece of the dream,
taste of the cream I've been chasin',
and to make it complete,
you're the only one I need,
if it should fall in my hands, I'd never take it for granted,
my piece of the dream.

You let me in without questioning why,
just took the love and believed the same as I,
but I got restless, I needed to know,
what dreams are made of, and so you made me go,
but all my best-laid plans have gone astray,
and now I know what I lost along the way.

I want a piece of the dream,
taste of the cream I've been chasin',
and to make it complete,
you're the only one I need,
if it should fall in my hands, I'd never take it for granted,
my piece of the dream.

(I feel my answer near)
(it never seemed so clear)
(could be my time is here)

I want a piece of the dream,
taste of the cream I've been chasin',
and to make it complete,
you're the only one I need,
and if I get this one last chance I'm gonna take it,
my piece of the dream,
my piece of the dream,
my piece of the dream,
piece of the dream,
taste of the cream,
my piece of the dream.

ONE SHOT IN THE DARK

I was hangin' from the rafters,
lookin' through the window,
suddenly my ears were out in the street,
sirens were screaming from far away,
all I can feel is the heat,
I was at home only yesterday,
something is happening to me.

Scared of what I might find,
frightened for the first time,
feels just like a movie here in my room,
sirens are screaming out in the street,
people just run everywhere,
chaos and tension inside the heat,
something is happening out there.

One shot in the dark,
no one heard the dogs bark,
there was one shot in the park last night,
one shot in the dark,
no one saw the blue spark,
there was one shot in the dark last night.

Hiding on the rooftop,
staring at the sky,
waiting for my transport,
take me home,
everyone pushing to get away,
I just can't believe what I see,
I was at home only yesterday,
something is happening to me.

One shot in the dark,
no one heard the dogs bark,
there was one shot in the park last night,
one shot in the dark,
no one saw the blue spark,
one shot in the dark,
no one heard the dogs bark,
there was one shot in the park last night,
one shot in the dark,
no one saw the blue spark,
there was one shot in the dark last night,
one shot in the dark
(the dogs bark)
(in the park last night)
(did anybody see it)
(the blue spark)
(in the park last night)
(did anybody see it)
(the dogs bark)
(in the park last night)
(everybody heard it)

COUNT ME IN

When it's time for the final act to begin, call me,
when you find your patience wearing too thin,
there's a path that leads you straight to their door, I know
if you believe, in time we'll even the score,
I've walked that mile before.

Yes, I'd like to join your fight,
pull your ranks in tight and count me in,
every move feels right tonight,
darkness turns to light so count me in.

Take your place, let them know you've arrived, go now,

they held you back, nailed you down to the floor, slowly,
you've got the brass ring, now you'll even the score,
I've walked that mile before.

Yes, I'd like to join your fight,
pull your ranks in tight and count me in,

every move feels right tonight,
darkness turns to light so count me in,
yes, I'd like to join your fight,
pull your ranks in tight and count me in,
every move feels right tonight,
darkness turns to light so count me in.

YOU'RE DRIVING ME OUT OF MY MIND

Feeling bluesy, you know you do confuse me all night
I sit at home, alone and wonder if you're all right
I count the hours and lie awake until you return
And search my mind with overtime
I've so much to learn
Well I gave you everything from the depths of my heart
From the day you took my ring we drifted apart
I have one thing more to say
You're driving me out of my mind

So alone, the home we had has turned out its lights
I walk the floor and wonder who is sharing your nights
And all around, your sound, your thoughts are ever so near
It's hard to take, this wait
I'm always wanting you here

Well I gave you everything from the depths of my heart
From the day you took my ring we drifted apart
I have one thing more to say
You're driving me out of my mind.
Though it may be hard to see
If you change your mind, will you know just where I'll be
If you ever need me

Feeling bluesy, you know you do confuse me all night
I sit at home, alone and wonder if you're all right
And all around, your sound
Your thoughts are ever so near
It's hard to take, this wait
I'm always waiting to here

Well I gave you everything from the depths of my heart
From the day you took my ring we drifted apart
I have one thing more to say
You're driving me out of my mind.

I'm out of my mind
You're driving me out of my mind
You're driving me out of my mind

WE TWO

All alone, on my own
since I walked out on you I walked out on me, now it's gone,
and you, what to do,
there's so much time and so many nights to get through,
oh why do we play, and why do we lose,
it's a dangerous life we live, we two

We are fools, we make all these rules,
we make it so hard to find love, to feel love,
to be fresh outta school,
and now, what of romance,
do we know that life is sweeter when we're taking a chance,
so why do we run, and why do we cry
it's a crazy life we live you and I

Carousels and wishing wells were the things we loved,
to fly away in a big balloon was what she talked of, oh...

Alone, out on my own,
I just wander the streets and stare at the places we've known
and now, what of myself,
can I go on pretending a love for somebody else,
oh why do we play, and why do we lose,
it's a dangerous life we live, we two

Carousels and wishing wells were the things we loved,
why did we play, why did we stay alone, we two,
to fly away in a big balloon was what she talked of,
why did we love and leave the memory of we two,
now she is gone, I'm left to carry on.

NO MORE TEARS

Sleeping through the night and being happy in the day,
I don't want - no more tears,
thinking 'bough those sleepless nights and wether I was wrong or right,
don't want - no more tears,
feeling sentimental never got me nowhere,
holding on to trouble left me pulling at thin air,
listen to me woman when I tell you I don't want - no more tears.

We could never work it out, it really broke my heart,
I don't want - no more tears,
every word was second-hand, delivered by the middle man,
don't want his ideas,
all my friends and neighbours wanted to get involved,
throwing me suggestins, trying to get the problem solved,
liten to me woman I tell you I don't want.

Bad dreams, in the middle of the night,
I can't sleep for fear of losing sight,
in my heart I still feel pain, whoa, whoa,
and my pride has taken second place,
'cause I've tried to see you face to face,
I don't mind this waiting game, it's all the same,
I think I'll be moving on with my life.

I'm feeling so much different now, I've mellowed with the years,
I don't want - no more tears,
I only hope for you to find this happiness, this peace of mind,
don't want - no more tears,
every now and then you find a place on my prayers,
I have no regrets for what we had and what we shared,
listen to me woman, I tell you I don't want - no more tears,
no more tears,
no more tears,
no more tears,
no more tears.

MR. SOCIALITE

Late at night, things ain't right,
a million thoughts, running 'round in my head,
closing the door, don't wanna hear no more,
made up my mind, everything has been said.

You and me, we disagree,
when I see white, well then you see black,
it's always the same, you'll never change your game,
oh once you leave, there'll be no turning back, hey, hey.

Spreading your name, with all your might,
your bridges don't burn, you're Mr. Socialite,
when opportunity is right,
if you are a name, he'll entertain you tonight.

Better get used to it now baby,
you know that time has come, it's calling you,
yes you chose to keep the distance,
I'll tell you something, lately I don't know you at all.

Hey, remember me ? We used to be
two hungry hearts with one goal in mind,
gone are the days, we're living in a maze,
how can the blind go on leading the blind, hey hey.

Spreading your name, with all your might,
your bridges don't burn, you're Mr. Socialite,
when opportunity is right,
if you are a name, he'll entertain you tonight.

FALLING

Falling,
falling,
falling,
falling into something new,
falling into something blue.

The lightS are dim, they wait for him,
they know he's somewhere near,
and all the while he hides behind,
a face that shows no fear.

Falling into something new,
falling, someone waits for you.

He lives on the dge of life and death,
with every minute there's a chance he must take,
and when the heat is on he stays as cold as ice,
with every move he makes, another throw of the dice.

Falling into something new,
falling, someone's watching you.

Falling,
falling,
falling,
falling, someone's watching.

SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

I lie in bed and I just can't sleep,
my mind's outside chasin' the beat,
thinkin' of you and of what went wrong,
I wonder how I can carry on with these sleepless nights,
oh sleepless nights,
I'm havin' sleepless nights over you.

I toss and turn cos' we're getting nowhere,
the fire burns but there's nobody there,
I need direction, need to find a way,
I'm so tired of just sleeping my days away,
because of sleepless nights,
oh sleepless nights,
I'm having sleepless nights over you, just can't get over you.

I'm up all night watching my TV,
I see the dawn with the late movie,
I'm runnin' scared and I just can't find,
a way to ease you off my mind,
can't stop these sleepless nights,
since you left me baby, sleepless nights,
I'm havin' sleepless nights over you.

You know you got me cryin' baby,
sleepless nights,
sleepless nights,
woah sleepless nights,
sleepless nights,
sleepless nights,
sleepless nights,
sleepless nights.

EASY MONEY

Way up north there's a whole lotta money,
they got goals doin' things they don't wanna do,
they know pals on the force and the government they pay,
they push pain to earn easy money,
go downton, jut to buy them a honey for the day.

Lonesome Joe has a store on the corner,
he's been there many years, working night and day,
he's alright, left alone, long as he does what they say,
rainy days that used to be sunny,
every week he pays easy money and he prays that they'll stay away.

In ole' New York, everyday people never talk of what they'll do oneday,
and in New York, they're layin' out easy money.

Way down south there's a scam they got goin',
they got guys from the east, north and everywhere,
pushin' girls on the street who are paying to be there,
they own folks who should know much better,
they sold out, they keep gettin' fatter qand don't care, they just don't care.

In ole' New York, everyday people never talk of what they'll do oneday,
and in New York, they're layin' out easy money

D

She signs her name with a "D",

I get a card that was posted in Denver,
she sent a note that she wrote from L.A.,
and she tells me lives in St. Louis now,
you know her story's getting bigger everyday.

She's a fast movin' lady who loves me,
she writes from Utah, then Ft. Lauderdale,
and she talks quite a lot about Jacksonville,
I wonder who it is who's sending this mail ? Oh woah ...

Signs her name with a "D",
she sends me love,

Every night, I sit at home and wonder,
who she is and when she'll let me know,
I can't go out just in case she'll telephone,
just wanna know the name of "D",
just wanna know if she's for me.

Signs her name with a "D",
she sends me love,
it's a mystery,
who sends me love ?

>And now I can't wait to finally meet her,
'cause see she sent me a picture today,
and I know there's not one but there's three who sign,
all their letters the very same way, oh woah ...

She signs her name with a "D",
she sends me love,
she won't let me be,
she sends me love.

LOVE LETTERS

Love letters straight from your heart,
keep us so near while apart,
I'm not alone in the night,
when I can have all the love that you write.

I'll memorize every line,
and I'll kiss the name that you sign,
and darlin' then I'll read again,
right from the start,
love letters straight, straight from your heart.
