Funny how dreams of love seem to fade, fade away ²
Tell me the reason feelings do change that-a-way
I thought I found the one to be near me always
But then you went away
Just as the others, plans seem to change, things turn grey
Began to feel crazy maybe it’s me, my mistake
Just can’t feel happy sadly in that normal way
Single destiny is the one for me

When I think of you, it really makes me blue
I’m trying trying harder harder just to move on
I want it to be through, but I guess I still love you
I’m trying trying harder harder just to move on
I know I love you, but what else can I do
Gonna quit the past and slowly make my way and move on
Ain’t no other way, there’s nothing else to say,
Cuz the words don’t mean a thing and no one’s listenin’

The lights in our eyes keep on dyin’
Our souls find a warm place to lie in
The fight leaves our minds, no denyin’
There’s no point in cryin’, we pick up where we leave
It’s over and done no more lyin’
A new day is on the horizon
The past is behind us we sigh and we all keep on tryin’
For the rest of time

Just as the dust our memories are swept, swept away
Am I the problem, is this the world that we face?
So many choices voices in life’s reeling pace
But I know I’ve lost this race

When I think of you, it really makes me blue
I’m trying trying harder harder just to move on
I want it to be through, but I guess I still love you
I’m trying trying harder harder just to move on
I know I love you, but what else can I do
Gonna quit the past and slowly make my way and move on
Ain’t no other way, there’s nothing else to say,
Cuz the words don’t mean a thing and no one’s listenin’

The lights in our eyes keep on dyin’
Our souls find a warm place to lie in
The fight leaves our minds, no denyin’
There’s no point in cryin’, we pick up where we leave
It’s over and done no more lyin’
A new day is on the horizon
The past is behind us we sigh and we all keep on tryin’
For the rest of time

On and on the drama lingers on
Spinning stories cryin’ out in song
So much misunderstanding
Cats and dogs need different things
I sucked you in can’t breathe you out
You took me in then kicked me out
I’m wonderin’ if I’d do the same again
To the same old end
Story’s all the same with different names
How much longer can I play this game?
Reasons why we lie come rolling in
Truth is paper thin
All is fair and that’s unfair I know
The pain is deep and moves too slow
And I wonder if ignorance is bliss
That’s the way it is

When I think of you, it really makes me blue
I’m trying trying harder harder just to move on
I want it to be through, but I guess I still love you
I’m trying trying harder harder just to move on
I know I still love you, but what else can I do
Gonna quit the past and slowly make my way and move on
Ain’t no other way, and nothing else to say,
Cuz the words don’t mean a thing and no one’s listenin’

The lights in our eyes keep on dyin’
Our souls find a warm place to lie in
The fight leaves our minds, no denyin’
There’s no point in cryin’, we pick up where we leave
It’s over and done no more lyin’
A new day is on the horizon
The past is behind us we sigh and we all keep on tryin’
For the rest of time

You walk through any door in town. ³
You look the whole place up and down.
You’re at that perfect age.
a beast out of its cage,
And the game is on.
Young and trim and confident.
Got your tight green jeans money well spent.
There’s a place around the bend
Where the party never ends
Gonna get some skin

Hearts in hand our souls on fire
A pretty pretense for desire
And when it comes down to denial
You look to what’s out there for hire
Doesn’t matter what is said
As long as it ends in the bed
And with tomorrow comes a new day
The past is wiped clean from your head

Oh on the low down low down
Yellow fever don’t slow down

Heaven is a place on earth,
When you know how much your money’s worth.
But the writing on the wall
Says a catch on down the hall
Is lingering.
One foot halfway down the grave
And your arm ‘round something half your age
She’s waiting on the will
You’re a walking dollar bill
That don’t matter none

Life is full of simple pleasures
You roam the streets for hidden treasures
No restraints you’re on your own
You left the wife and kids back home
Alpha male, got the pick of the den
It’s sweeter than it’s ever been
But watch yourself one day you’ll wake
To the sound of wedding bells again

Oh on the low down low down
Yellow fever don’t slow down

Hearts in hand our souls on fire
A pretty pretense for desire
And when it comes down to denial
You look to what’s out there for hire
Doesn’t matter what is said
As long as it ends in the bed
And with tomorrow comes a new day
The past is wiped clean from your head
Life is full of simple pleasures
You roam the streets for hidden treasures
No restraints you’re on your own
You left the wife and kids back home
Alpha male, got the pick of the den
It’s sweeter than it’s ever been
But watch yourself one day you’ll wake
To the sound of wedding bells again

Oh on the low down low down
Yellow fever don’t slow down
You know our love is only as deep as your pockets
That don’t stop it
And I know my beauty’s only skin deep and as time goes on
Eyes will wander on
You know our love is only as deep as your pockets
That don’t stop it
And I know my beauty’s only skin deep and as time goes on
Eyes will wander on
Oh-ah on the low down low down
Yellow fever don’t slow down

Time is a wishing well ⁴
Full of empty promise
Our dreams turn cold
Soon we don't dream at all
Then tomorrow's gone
And when night begins to fall
We rage against the dawn

It reads like an empty page
Of a book with no moral
And the end is known
Ain't no suspense at all
We come and then we go

So far away
Time stretched out before us
The night brings the day
Time's a moving train we can't escape
Getting faster on by the day
And the choices we
Make we cannot change
We just carry on

So far away
Time stretched out before us
The night brings the day
And on and on and on
We're young and unafraid
And touched by the heavens
But as we look away

Take me away
From this troubled age
Or show me some peace
From my childhood days
The doors to my mind are locked safe away
With memories of hope
Pain and grief and shame
