Fate looks certain but there's nothing guaranteed Want for nothing, but is nothing what you need? Always pushing but you're never satisfied I did believe you 'til I found out that you lied Time and time again Time and time again again For what I give you I get nothing in return Can't forgive you watching all your bridges burn All day long I sat and watched you do it wrong Have to say that's how you did it all along Time and time again Time and time again again But others wouldn't see things you could only see And someone showed you, then why was it always me You knew the limit you were always out of bounds How could I trust you when I caught you messing 'round Time and time again Time and time again again
When I ran from the hounds of hell Twist my foot, I nearly fell I was lucky I was alive One look back I could have died I was the sole survivor Sole survivor Sole survivor Solitary fighter When I saw it I was amazed One time glory right in my gaze I saw the sorrow, I saw the joy Right in the darkness none could destroy I was the sole survivor Sole survivor Sole survivor Solitary fighter And from the wreckage I will arise Cast the ashes back in their eyes See the fire, I will defend Just keep on burning right to the end I was the sole survivor Sole survivor Sole survivor Solitary fighter
Hard times you had before you I knew when I first saw you You girl you’ve always been mistreated, cheated So leave it all behind you It took so long to find you I know that we can last forever, ever and more, more, oh Don't cry now that I’ve found you Don't cry take a look around you Don't cry it took so long to find you Do what you want, but little Darling please don't cry I knew I’d never doubt it I was so sure about it Don't think of all that’s been before I'll hear you when you’re calling I'll catch you when you’re falling Don't worry I will always be there, like never before, or, oh Don't cry now that I've found you… Don't cry now that I've found you…
You're leaving now It's in your eyes There's no disguising it It really comes as no surprise To find that you planned it all along I see it now Becomes so clear Your insincerity And me all starrey-eyed To think that I would have know by now Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky This lie is over Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over {Only time will tell} One thing is sure That time will tell {Only time will tell} If you were wrong The brightest ring around the moon Will darken when I die Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky This lie is over Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over You're leaving now It's in your eyes There's no disguising it It really comes as no surprise To find that you planned it all along I see it now Becomes so clear Your insincerity And me all starrey-eyed To think that I would have know by now Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky This lie is over Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over (Only time will tell) You're on your own Inside your room (Only time will tell) You're claiming victory You were just using me And there is no one you can use now (Only time will tell) One thing is sure That time will tell…
Rock and roll dream Not what it seems Who is the dreamer now? When I see the faces from the limousine No chance of our survival Armed forces, guardians of the law Awaiting our arrival They all are young We all were young And I've seen this place before Open up the door Let us in All the things I've seen Words I said, I didn't mean Feelings, I took for granted But now reality One thing we could never see Everything, we always wanted They all are young We all were young And I've seen this place before Open up the door Let us in Rock and roll dream Not what it seems Who is the dreamer now? If I had the choice Words came through my voice I should have left unspoken Now it's obvious Clear to all of us The dream that now is broken Take the stage tonight Go face the lights With this image you should keep You're crying in your sleep Tonight Rock and roll dream Not what it seems Who is the dreamer now?
If I only could decieve you Forgetting the game Every time I try to leave you You laugh just the same 'Cause my wheels never touch the road And the jumble of lies we told Just returns to my back to weigh me down... We lay cards upon the table The backs of our hands And I swear I like your people The boys in the band Reminisences gone astray Coming back to enjoy the fray In a tangle of night and daylight sounds... All completeness in the morning Asleep on your side I'll be waking up the crewmen Bananna-boat ride She responds like limousine Brought alive on the silent screen To the shuddering breath of yesterday... There's the succor of the needy Incredible scenes I'll believe you in the future Your life and death dreams As the cavalry of despair Takes a stand in the lady's hair For the favour of mafing sweet sixteen... You make my life and times A book of bluesy Saturdays And I have to choose...
I saw you standing hand in hand And now you come to me the solitary man And I know what it is that made us live Such ordinary lives The where to go the who to see No one could sympathize The Smile Has Left Your Eyes The Smile Has Left Your Eyes And I've become a rolling stone I don't know where to go or what to call my own But I can see that black horizon glooming ever close to view It's over now it's not my fault See how this feels for you The Smile Has Left Your Eyes The Smile Has Left Your Eyes But I never thought I'd see you Standing there with him So don't come crawling back to me Now it's too late you realized Now there's no one can sympathize Now that the Smile Has Left Your Eyes Now it's too late you realized Now there's no one can sympathize Now it's too late you realized Now that the Smile Has Left Your Eyes
You walk tall, got your head in the clouds You talk soft, but you're thinking aloud And you know, exactly what you want You box shy, you're hard to get You got the face that I can't forget And I know, I know The Heat Goes On I know that The Heat Goes On I know that The Heat Goes On You play tight, you're nobody's fool You're not cold, but I know that you're cool Look at you, I know The Heat Goes On Now tell me, with your hand on you're heart That you knew, you were right from the start And you're sure, you felt it all along You know that The Heat Goes On You know that The Heat Goes On Times to decide, times that I've lied Problems will never be solved Which way is wrong, which could be right? This heat will always go on You walk tall, got your head in the clouds You talk soft, but you're thinking aloud And you know, exactly what you want You box shy, you're hard to get You got the face that I'll never forget You and I know, we know The Heat Goes On
Dig for victory, go for gold I don't wanna die before I get old And I wonder where I'm going to There's some way out, there's some way through But I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm down again My direction is changing, which way, Which way can I go... Get up and go You start me up, you slow me down No one can deny you get around When you're hot, you're cold, you're in between Asking myself what does it mean? And I walk that tightrope, you should know I'm losing my balance, maybe, Maybe I should go... Get up and go Face to face in sympathy But now you turn your back on me Turn a card and win, but you may lose Fate only has that right to choose If you're right, leave me here, I'll die alone You've got the time, you've just got time You got the time just go... Get up and go Go Just go…
I never meant to be so bad to you One thing I said that I would never do One look from you and I would fall from grace And that would wipe this smile right from my face Do you remember when we used to dance And incidence arose from circumstance One thing lead to another we were young And we would scream together songs unsung It was the heat of the moment Telling me what your heart meant Heat of the moment shone in your eyes And now you find yourself in 82 The disco hotspots hold no charm for you You can't concern yourself with bigger things You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings It was the heat of the moment Telling me what your heart meant Heat of the moment shone in your eyes And when your looks are gone and you're alone How many nights you sit beside the phone What were the things you wanted for yourself Teenage ambition you remember well It was the heat of the moment Telling me what your heart meant Heat of the moment shone in your eyes It was the heat of the moment Telling me what your heart meant Heat of the moment shone in your eyes
What on earth are you doing here, in the western world? Another situation yeah you're a different girl You have lived your life dreaming you were someone else Succeeding's believing in yourself Open Your Eyes And see the world that stands before you now Open Your Eyes And see the world that stands in front of you You have spent your days trying something new You have looked at magazine girls wishing that they were you Do you see in photographs an angel that once was you? Does she tell you stories that are true? If I could stand with you right now and speak my mind I would tell you no lies I would shoot straight between the eyes You have stared a thousand times right into the lens Have you ever thought just once, does it all make sense? Your beauty's eternal so don't just pretend Got to wake up girl, or it's the end
