I keep on trying And nothing will shake off this feeling Whatever you’re saying now I will take it the wrong way Shiva descending It looks like it’s one of those days I look out the window The rain keeps on falling forever Do you remember The last time we looked at the sun Shiva descending And who’ll ever know how she comes And down she falls Like thunder, alone A sound so deep That I pray Vishnu My soul to keep Lately I’ve found myself Thinking in terms of the kingdom But all I can hear at this time Is the sound of the drum Shiva descending And I don’t know which way to run ---

Feelin’ like it’s all over Feelin’ like there’s no love Feelin’ like it’s not easy Breathin’ life in the dust On a countdown to zero, take a ride on the nightmare machine There ain’t gonna be heroes – there ain’t gonna be anything Oh! Here it comes, here comes the night Here it comes, hell in the night Here it comes, here comes the night When we all fall down When we walk into silence When we shadow the sun When we surrender to violence Oh then the damage is done (Put away that gun!) I don’t wanna be there – I don’t wanna be anywhere Oh! Here it comes, here comes the night Here it comes, hell in the night Here it comes, here comes the night That’s right! We’re fightin’ for the Gods of War But what the hell we fightin’ for? We’re fightin’ with the Gods of War But I’m a rebel And I ain’t gonna fight no more…no way! ---

For I stole California from the Mexican land Fought in the bloody Civil War Yes I even killed my brothers And so many others But I ain’t marchin’ anymore For I marched to the battles of the German trench In a war that was bound to end all wars Oh I must have killed a million men And now they want me back again But I ain’t marchin’ anymore ---

After the turn of the century In the clear blue skies over Germany Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard Like the screamin’ sound of a big war bird Up in the sky, a man in a plane Baron von Richthofen was his name Eighty men tried and eighty men died Now they’re buried together on the country side Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more The bloody Red Baron was rollin’ up the score Eighty men died tryin’ to end that spree Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany… ---

I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone. I crashed my car into the bridge. I watched, I let it burn. I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs. I crashed my car into the bridge. I don’t care, I love it. I don’t care. ---

And I’m trying to forget you And I know that I will In a thousand years, or maybe a week Burn all your pictures, and cut out your face The shutters are down and the curtains are closed And I’ve covered my tracks Disposed of the car Trying to forget even your name and the way that you look When you’re sleeping Dreaming of this Way out Way out of here Fade out Fade out, vanish ---

When I met you in the restaurant You could tell I was no debutante You asked me what’s my pleasure A movie or a measure? I’ll have a cup of tea And tell you of my dreaming Dreaming is free Dreaming, dreaming is free I don’t want to live on charity Pleasure’s real or is it fantasy? Reel to reel is living rarity People stop and stare at me We just walk on by We just keep on dreaming Feet feet, walking a two mile Meet meet, meet me at the turnstile I never met him, I’ll never forget him Dream dream, even for a little while Dream dream, filling up an idle hour Fade away, radiate ---

Well, I never been to college; I barely finished seventh grade. That don’t make me worse nor better; I’m just made the way I’m made, Workin’ hard at what I’m good at: pumpin’ gas an’ fixin’ cars. I like the smell o’ gasoline and I don’t mind passin’ bars. Paid my dues by workin’ places where the owner’s hands was clean Ain’t no Christian thought erases how he treated me so mean But I done the things he asked me, an’ I smiled right to his face, 'Cause I knew that in a year or two I’s gonna own that place. And I kept my dreams within my reach an’ ever’ one came true, ‘Cause when you stick to what you’re good at, good things come to you, An’ now I’m happy here livin’ above my station. I ain’t jokin’ when I say that it’s a gas. Come and fill your tank up downstairs at my station, Then y’all come with me upstairs an’ get your glass. You’ll see I’m happy here livin’ above my station. I got no complaint at all about my life, ‘Cause there’s just one way to live above your station, And that’s with your friends an’ Doctor Pepper and your wife. ---

The return of the Thin White Duke Throwing darts in lovers’ eyes Here are we, one magical moment, such is the stuff From where dreams are woven Bending sound, dredging the ocean, lost in my circle Here am I, flashing no color Tall in this room overlooking the ocean Here are we, one magical movement from Kether to Malkuth There are you, you drive like a demon from station to station The return of the Thin White Duke, throwing darts in lovers’ eyes The return of the Thin White Duke, throwing darts in lovers’ eyes The return of the Thin White Duke, making sure white stays Once there were mountains on mountains And once there were sun birds to soar with And once I could never be down Got to keep searching and searching Oh, what will I be believing and who will connect me with love? Wonder who, wonder who, wonder when Have you sought fortune, evasive and shy? Drink to the men who protect you and I Drink, drink, drain your glass, raise your glass high It’s not the side-effects of the cocaine I’m thinking that it must be love It’s too late to be grateful It’s too late to be late again It’s too late to be hateful The European cannon is here I must be only one in a million I won’t let the day pass without her It’s too late to be grateful ---

You call me on the telephone And you say you’ll never do it again But you’ve hurt me once too often dear And it’s just a little late to repent All your beggin’ and pleadin’ won’t help you And your lying’ and cheatin’, I’ll take no more 'Cause I told you before and I’ll tell you again You liar, liar It’s too late, it’s too late It’s too late, it’s too late I know, that I never wanna see you again And now don’t you go, tellin’ lies about me to your friends 'Cause I’ve heard them before and you know it That’s I’ve waited this long just to show it So take all of your heartaches and leave me alone 'Cause I know, you know, they know It’s too late - I’ve walked out the door It’s too late - To tell me you’re sorry It’s too late - To go any higher You liar, liar, liar ---

Marcie in a coat of flowers. Steps inside a candy store. Reds are sweet and greens are sour. Still no letter at her door. So she’ll wash her flower curtains Hang them on the line to dry. Dust her table with his shirt and Wave another day goodbye. ---

Have we lost the spark or a guide? What’s the latest on the screen? Can’t be too late to turn around I need all the help from you I need to find Something to blame for a long lost time I am running from something that I don’t know I am searching for something, which way to go? I am trying to separate what’s real I’m running in a wheel Is it dark or is it bright? What’s the latest on the screen? Please tell me my name, I haven’t checked it today I am running from something that I don’t know I am searching for something, which way to go? I am trying to separate what’s real I’m running in a wheel From green to red our days pass by Waiting for a sign to tell us why Are we dancing all alone? Collect some stars to shine for you And start today 'cause there’s only a few A sign of times my friend ---

It’s a sign of the times That you call me up whenever you feel lonely It’s a sign of the times That you tell your friends that I’m your one and only I’ll never understand The way you treated me But when I hold your hand I know you couldn’t be the way you used to be Maybe my lucky star At last decided to shine Maybe somebody knows How long I’ve waited to make you mine [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=221) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=223)
