One brief shining moment. Your suspicious nature. Keeps you on your guard. And you learn to trust it. In a world so hard. But one day you'll erase it.
(Lawrence Gowan). You've got ways. To take hold of my thoughts. Over-riding my senses. Lock your sights. Dead in line with my heart. Share your powers.
(Lawrence Gowan). On their street, on their strip. No one's ever free from their grip. You were weak, they were strong. An offer of security, a place to belong.
(Lawrence Gowan). Down deperate roads. Sometimes you run for your life. Only to find the answer. Suddenly slips out of sight. Yeah, you were fooled. I guess you should take the blame.

Beware the rotting wind. Of complacency. It loves to suck you in. Till you're history. If you can't afford the price. Of a fatal slip. You better learn to dance.
(Lawrence Gowan). You get time (time). But all that really changes. Is the state of your mind. You get strong (strong). But strength can be elusive. When your fears turn on.
(Lawrence Gowan). As the glow from the ashes. Lit the faces of the people passing by. They saw the victims die (they saw the victims die). When the news hit the papers.
Guerilla Soldier born in Santo Domingo. U.S. Marine down from his home up in Maine. Big Red Machine rolls in patrolling the jungle. All of them baking under tropical rain.
(Lawrence Gowan). There you sit. Staring at the dead screen. And it's sad. Life ain't like your daydream. Every rat, gets an easy pigeon. Every snake, somehow works a way in.

(Lawrence Gowan). Raise your hands. Lift up my soul. Through your eyes. Envision my dreams. Cast your light. I will follow. For night has fallen. The demon lurks.
You were once the picture. Of perfect cool. With a calculated smile. But you played the world. For one big fool. Now you're losing all your style. Cracking your whip, but no one hears you.
(Lawrence Gowan). A scorpion skims across the desert. Warm winds are stirring up your soul. It's giving your eyes that tempting flicker. Just the kind that makes me lose control.
(Lawrence Gowan). I could never count. The hours of patience. Nor how many times. I've turned away. Lost within this cause. That lives to taunt me. Long as I may breathe.
Flew in from London. Only to shop 7th Avenue. They've got what she wants. You just can't get it over there. She's so attractive. And she'll do anything to stay that way.
They sit and wait. That time shall pass. They hear no call. Nothing is breaking. They reach the heights. They learn to run. They gain it all. Are you awaking....
(Lawrence Gowan). Like the mouse that's in the maze. That runs around for days and days. Well that's the way I see your life is heading. But if I read your signals right.
Wonder, where our world is heading for. The future, it's filling us with fear. We stumbled, in a pit too deep this time. We don't know, if we'll make it out.
With urgent hands we excited. A fire so hot, two lives were ignited. Now I'm left here on my own. But I'll never be alone. . Down forbidden streets I talk with.
