Maybe I need some rehab Or maybe just need some sleep I got a sick obsession I’m seeing it in my dreams I’m looking down every alley I’m making those desperate calls I’m staying up all night hoping hitting my head against the wall What you got, boy, is hard to find I think about it all the time I’m all strung out, my heart is fried I just can’t get you off my mind! Because your love, your love, your love is my drug Your love, your love, your love (I said) Your love, your love, your love is my drug Your love, your love, your love ---

Well some say I’m lazy And others say that’s just me Some say I’m crazy I guess I’ll always be But it’s been such a long time Since I knew right from wrong It’s all the means to an end, I I keep it movin’ along You’re one in a million Oo, you’re a Shooting Star You’re one in a million, babe You know that you are Maybe someday we’ll see you oh, Before you make us cry You know we tried to reach you But you were much too high ---

Out on the road today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac A little voice inside my head said, “Don’t look back. You can never look back.” I thought I knew what love was – What did I know? Those days are gone forever I should just let them go, but I can see you, your brown skin shinin’ in the sun You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone ---

I did a thing last night You know those future games I turned off all the lights Oh, the future came You were by my side Will you explain-oh yeah Real rhyme or reason for those future games Now you were there last night And oh were you afraid Of things we’d come upon While playing future games But baby it’s alright and so have faith Oh yeah, you invent the future that you want to face How many people sit home at night Wondering if they will be here tonight Wondering if children will he bring to the light Inherit the world, or inherit the night Wondering if neighbors are thinking the same All of the wild things tomorrow will tame Talking of journeys that happen in vain Well I know I’m not the only one To ever spend my life sitting playing future games ---

You go up and down this time. I’m writing the future, I’m writing it out, loud. We don’t talk about the past, We don’t talk about the past now. So, I’m writing the future, I’m leaving a key here. Something won’t always be missing, You won’t always feel emptier. ---

Is it heaven? Is it hell? Is it the afterworld Or just something else? Are we prisoners in Nowhereland Where darkness is your only friend Kept inside this wall of sleep Have we fallen into a deep freeze Left the wastelands, broke the lines Crossed the border to another time Being drawn by the Fates who run our destinies Stranded in a state of life Where dreams become reality Where do we go? Where do we go from here? When do we finally disappear? Future world There’s nothing left to save They blew it all away Future world Tonight we’re riding on The final escape ---

The battle’s done, And we kinda won. So we sound our victory cheer. Where do we go from here. Why is the path unclear, When we know home is near. Understand we’ll go hand in hand, But we’ll walk alone in fear. (Tell me) Tell me where do we go from here. ---

Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox, Gone to ground. See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water. And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees. Laughing as it passes through the endless summer, Making for the sea. ---

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night and Wouldn’t you love to love her? Takes to the sky like a bird in flight and Who will be her lover? All your life you’ve never seen A woman taken by the wind Would you stay if she promised you heaven? Will you ever win? She is like a cat in the dark and then She is the darkness She rules her life like a fine skylark and when The sky is starless All your life you’ve never seen A woman taken by the wind Would you stay if she promised you heaven? Will you ever win? Will you ever win? Rhiannon [Heh, maybe I’ll stick with the Mac for the time being…] ---

I came by myself to a very crowded place; I was looking for someone who had lines in her face. I found her there but she was past all concern; I asked her to hold me, I said, “Lady, unfold me,” but she scorned me and she told me I was dead and I could never return. Well, I argued all night like so many have before, saying, “Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more.” Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor, she said, “Don’t try to use me or slyly refuse me, just win me or lose me, it is this that the darkness is for.” I cried, “Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old, the stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold.” “If we cry now,” she said, “it will just be ignored.” So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning, I could hear my lady calling, "You’ve won me, you’ve won me, my lord, ---

> [@John\_DiFool](#): > > [Heh, maybe I’ll stick with the Mac for the time being…] Sure, why not? 😉 It’s the same kind of story That seems to come down from long ago Two friends having coffee together When something flies by their window It might be out on that lawn Which is wide, at least half of a playing field Because there’s no explaining what your imagination Can make you see and feel Seems like a dream, they got me hypnotized Now it’s not a meaningless question To ask if they’ve been and gone I remember a talk about North Carolina And a strange, strange pond You see the sides were like glass In the thick of a forest without a road And if any man’s ever made that land Then I think it would’ve showed Seems like a dream, they got me hypnotized ---

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord And I’ve been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord Well, if you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand I’ve seen your face before my friend But I don’t know if you know who I am Well, I was there and I saw what you did I saw it with my own two eyes So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you’ve been It’s all been a pack of lies ---

He rode easy in the saddle. He was tall and lean, and at first you’d a-thought nothing but a streak of mean could make a man look so down right strong, but one look in his eyes and you knowed you was wrong. He was a mountain of a man, and I want you to know. He could preach hot hell or freezin’ snow. He carried a Bible in a canvas sack and folks just called him The Reverend Mr. Black. He was poor as a beggar, but he rode like a king. Sometimes in the evening, I’d hear him sing: I gotta walk that lonesome valley. I got to walk it by myself. Oh nobody else can walk it for me. I got to walk it by myself. You got to walk that lonesome valley. You got to walk it by yourself. Oh nobody else can walk it for you. You got to walk it by yourself. ---

Walking the night without you Skies too high without you Losing my way on silent roads without you Long lone streets before me No voice in the night to warn me No sound of our songs To bring you to me Losing my way Stars send me astray Walking the night without you Blind in sight without you No song I learn No way I turn Brings you closer to me Searching for songs without you Moon so cold without you Longing to be near Straining to hear A song from you Walking the stars without you [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=178) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=180)
