I am the eye in the sky  
Looking at you  
I can read your mind  
I am the maker of rules  
Dealing with fools  
I can cheat you blind  
And I don’t need to see any more to know that  
I can read your mind

And they think it will make their lives easier  
For god knows up till now it’s been hard  
But the game never ends when your whole world depends  
On the turn of a friendly card

Oo, loo-loo, loo-loo, loo-loo  
If life is just gamble  
Gamble if you want to win  
Oo, loo-loo, loo-loo, loo, loo  
Life can be so easy  
Let the wheel of fortune spin

Find a wheel, and it goes 'round, 'round, 'round  
As it skims along with a happy sound  
As it goes, along the ground, ground, ground  
'Til it leads you to the one you love

You are alive and high in my dreams  
You are the stars that mystify me  
And you are the wolf that frightens the thief  
And you are the voice that they disbelieve

We are not chained to the wheel

You are my lucky star  
I saw you from afar  
Two lovely eyes at me they were gleaming; beaming  
I was star struck  
You’re all my lucky charms  
I’m lucky in your arms  
You’ve opened heaven’s portal  
Here on earth for this poor mortal

Heaven, I’m in Heaven,  
And the cares that hung around me thro’ the week  
Seem to vanish like a gambler’s lucky streak  
When we’re out together dancing, cheek to cheek.

But I fell  
Alive with you  
And I fell  
Some kind of Heaven

When I fell  
Deep inside Her  
And I fell  
Some kind of Heaven

Give me  
Give me  
Give me  
Some kind of Heaven

There she stood in the doorway  
I heard the mission bell  
And I was thinking to myself  
“This could be Heaven or this could be Hell”  
Then she lit up a candle  
And she showed me the way  
There were voices down the corridor  
I thought I heard them say  
Welcome to the Hotel California

Tonight we sleep on silken sheets  
We drink fine wine and eat rare meats  
On Carousel and gambling stake  
Our fortunes speed, and dissipate  
It’s candlelight and chandelier  
It’s silver plate and crystal clear  
The nights we stay at Hotel Grand

Satin sheets to lie on, satin pillows to cry on,  
Still, I’m not happy, don’t you see?  
Big long Cadillac, tailor-mades upon my back,  
Still, I want you to set me free.

Satin Sheets – _Jeanne Pruett_

Take me back to Chicago  
Lay my soul to rest  
Where my life was free and easy  
Remember me at my best  
Take me back to Chicago  
Where music was all I had  
I tried to be good as I could  
And sometimes that made me sad

Never stopped me dreaming (football’s coming home)
