You know you're gonna have to face up to the facts. You're just another face in a big crowd. You know we gotta try hard to relax. We can laugh - but not too loud.
Sunday evening down the penny arcade. I see your face in the pinball game. Put in a quarter and it starts to fade. Tell myself it won't appear again. But this is just another game I've played so badly.
Where's that tiger! Where's that tiger!. Where's that tiger! Where's that tiger!. Hold that tiger! Hold that tiger ! Hold that tiger!. Choke him, poke him, kick him and soak him!.
Thugz are us, thugs are us. Wearing hoods and baggy trousers on the bus. Thugz are us, thugs are us. We don't want no trouble. Unless you make a fuss.
Wake up this mornin' and the paper's on the mat. Poor gettin' poorer and the rich are gettin' fat again. Up in the towers, all the bosses sittin' sneezin'.
If I stop and think about it. I'm either stone cold certain. Or more inclined to doubt it. But when you jump into the darkness. Well, I take off my hat.
Did you do me right?. Did I do right by you?. When I bared my soul it seems you did not hear. Can this be true?. Am I fool to fight?. I could do just what you say.
Guess we can still be friends. Guess we can talk at least. But if we were seventeen. Imagine the things we'd do. . I know that those days are over,. I'm glad that those games are won.
There goes another one. Another happy couple on the road to emptiness. I think of my father and mother. Can they imagine how two people can get in this mess.
It happened one night. At three in the morning. The devil appeared in my studio room. And he said I'm your pal. And I'll make you a deal. Blow away your struggle.
Hey pal. Can I take your picture for the people back home. They won't believe it when they see this stuff. You see the camera that I got in Hong Kong.
Some say the world is spinning faster. Some say it isn't fast enough. Some people say they've got the answer. And some are scared to say they can't keep up.
Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky. Waiting for me when I die. But between the day you're born and when you die. You know, they never seem to hear even your cry.
Down there in the ashes. There's gold and silver too. Dear sister, I try to share with you. . Smug, you said. Take your spoils away. . And you broke the bridge on your side.
People say there's no such thing as voodoo. I don't know why. People say there's no such thing as love. I got a job in S.E. 15. . And after tax my wage is 16.
I'll try to protect you. If I don't get too scared. I'll never neglect you. If my feelings are shared. I'll be right behind you. If you don't move too fast.
I don't know why they come here. I'm only glad they do. They're gonna pay the bills for me and you. People out for an evening. They have a real good time.
Uptown - downtown. No one's fussy I'm a target. Black, white - day, night. No one's fussy I'm a target. . Somebody say I'm crazy. Walking in this neighborhood.
It's Xmas time again. Has it really been a year. And a soldier sighs again. And thinks about his kids and English beer. . Pulls on his boots again. And steps into the pissing rain.
Don't let her down. Just 'cause you could before. She stole the crown. You don't rule anymore. Oh no - take it like she did before. Oh no - take it like a man.
