Been so many words, so much to say
Words are not enough to keep the guns at bay
Some live in fear, some do not
Some gamble everything on who gets the final shot
Aah don't talk to me of love
Ooh it's obvious it's not enough
Annihilation, kill them all
Capitulation, watch the mighty fall
The road to glory is lined in red
Though the reason now is gone
The battle rages on

Was it love or hate that got there first?
Hate's a habit, it's hard to shake the curse
Kill to live, live to die
Human nature, you let the strong survive
Aah don't talk to me of love
Ooh be serious, it's not enough
Annihilation, kill them all
Capitulation, watch the mighty fall
Yhe road to glory is lined in red
And though the reason now is gone
The battle rages on

Annihilation, kill them all
Capitulation, watch the mighty fall
The road to glory is lined in red
Though the reason now is gone...

Capitulation, watch the mighty fall
The road to glory is lined in red
And though the reason now is gone...

My shoes are getting heavy, my feet are winding down
I look for her in corners but she's not around
What I eat is eating me, it hits me hard
I'm one jack short of a royal flush, a stranger holds the card
Here comes salvation in the shape of my guitar
I'm gonna ride it like a shooting star
I don't want your money - I don't want your soul ouh
Don't need a reason - I just want to get right down and lick it up aah

Mother mercy told me a picture never lies
She told me no self respecting hero cries
The prisoner walks in circles, the victim walks alone
Scissors cut the paper, the paper wraps the stone
Stand at the entrance to the gates of paradise
The lights go down, the heat goes up, that's when I cry
Don't want your money - I don't want your soul no
Don't need a reason - Just want to get right down and lick it up

I found my faith in fortune reaching for the sky
The only game in town, it gets me high
Don't want your money - I just want to get right down and lick it up
Oh don't want your soul - Just want to get right down and lick it up
No don't need a reason - Just want to get right down and oah... Lick it up!

I'm so far away from everything you know
Your name is carried, carried on the wind
Oh your ice blue waters Anya, where do they flow?
Where have they been? Ah where have they been?
A hidden passion touching a spark
Flame of revolution burning wild in your gypsy heart
Oh your gypsy heart
Anya Anya the spirit of freedom
Anya Anya oouh... Anya

The light of freedom buried deep within your soul
Across the puszta plain to see
The rhapsody of angels refuse to dance alone
What do they mean? Oh what do they mean?
Your jewel flashing across the dark
Forbidding distance, I love your gypsy heart
Oh your gypsy heart
Anya Anya the spirit of freedom
Anya Anya oouh... Anya

Jewel flashing across the dark
Forbidding distance, I love your gypsy heart
Oh your gypsy heart
Anya Anya the spirit of freedom
Anya Anya oouh... Anya

Talking real world, all that pain
Try to fix it, still comes out the same
Get down to rosie's, won't you pull that plug
Last week someone made a mess of that rug
Talking big house, way up town
One day, one day I'll put the money down
All that baby talk is for the birds
Let's make some honey, honey in so many words
Oh no! Oh no! Don't want a serious conversation
Oh ouh! Oh ouh! I just want to get you serious, serious
I want to talk about love

Oooh you talk about the weather, rain or snow
Talking cold wind, the way it's going to blow
Talking good times, night and day
Talk talk, a stronger man could lose his way
Aphrodite, now there's a girl
Good good loving she spreads around the world
Forget your dancing all that boogaloo
Drag that purse over here, I got to talk to you
Oh no! Oh no! Don't want a serious conversation
Ah aah! Ah aah! I just want to get you serious, serious
I want to talk about love

Oh no! Oh no! Don't want a serious conversation
Oh ouh! Oh ouh! I just want to get you serious
Oh no! Oh no! Don't want a serious conversation
Ah aah! Aaah! I just want to get you serious, serious
Wanna talk about love

Consider your position, position your defense
Why don't you let me ask you, is it mere coincidence?
Feeding speculators on a downhill gravy train
Like vultures ripping out the eyes to reach the dying brain
Listen to the wind, a silent scream
Tearing out your broken heart like a forgotten dream
Ah a time for peace, a time for war
Wondering what we've been put here for
A time for giving, a time to take
A time for love and a time for hate
A time to beg, a time to steal
So you gamble on that spinning wheel
Of all these things I've had my fill
Lord I need some time to kill

Ten percent of nothing is exactly what you got
You think you've got the given right to take another shot
I'll take away your money, all you've got is coloured beads
Find a piece of land where you can sow your dirty seeds
Listen to the wind, a silent scream
Tearing out your broken heart like a forgotten dream
Oh a time for passion, a time for pain
A time to learn that we're all the same
A time to remember, a time to forget
Wondering how we're going to pay our debts
A time for thunder, a time for rain
Waiting for the seasons to change
Of all these things I've had my fill
Lord I need some time to kill

A time for peace, a time for war
Wondering what we've been put here for
A time for giving, a time to take
A time for love and a time for hate
A time to beg, a time to steal
So you gamble on that spinning wheel
Of all these things I've had my fill
Lord I need some time... Ooh

A time for passion, a time for pain
A time to learn that we're all the same
A time to remember, a time to forget
Wondering how we're going to pay our debts
A time for thunder, a time for rain
Waiting for the seasons to change
Of all these things I've had my fill
Lord I need some time... I need... I need some time...
Some time... Some time... Some time to kill

My clothes don't fit and I have no point of view
Got a bad reputation but I don't believe it's true
I had something going but I blew it down the can ouh
Not exactly what I planned... oh
Ha! I'm a ramshackle man - That's what I am

I look like a joker but I feel like a one-eyed jack
Shuffling around, never get to the top of the pack
I said to the dealer put the ace in my hand
But he couldn't give a damn... oah ooh!
Oh I'm a ramshackle man - That's what I am

Aaah auh!

I sit down thinking 'bout the things I have to do
Yeah I start out fine then I pick up something new
I stumbled through the door that's how it all began
Now it's buried in the sand
I'm a ramshackle man - That's what I am

The stars shine bright when the boys come out to play
Never feeling more than I'm feeling right here today
I used to be fresh but now I'm second hand oh yeah
I do what I can... oh ouh
I'm a ramshackle man - That's what I am

Is what I am - I'm a ramshackle man
It's what I am - I'm a ramshackle man...

As you watch from your house on the hill
World keeps spinning around you and you're standing still
And a thought never enters your mind
Something happened once in my life
A fading picture of you that's so hard to describe
I've been where the sun never shines
That's alright, there's a change in the story, Ouh!
That's alright, there's a change in the plan
A twist in the tale

Face in the mirror, head in the clouds
Hanging onto a dream that you can't do without
As it drops like a stone without trace
Ha! Give what you want, take what you need
Squeezing so hard there's no room to breathe
And your flavour has fallen from grace
It's alright, a change in the story, Ouh! Ouh!
That's alright, there's a change in the plan
A twist in the tale oh

I saw you dancing, dancing on air
You were lost in the starlight
Ooh no one but me really cared

Every question turns out a lie
Can't you swallow the truth for once in your life?
I loved you but don't ask me why
It's alright, there's a change in the story
That's alright, there's a change in the plan
It's alright, there's a change in the story
It's alright, there's a change in the plan
A twist in the tale - Ha!

Aaaah got my feelers out! Oh yeah!
Pleasure, I can give you pain
I'm the demon of misfortune
I can tell you bad luck is my game
Fire burning make you cold
You can touch but you can't hold
Ooh! It's an even split
Between zip and the number on your ticket ooh
Nothing to brag about, dragging in the dirt
Ooh! Nasty piece of work!

Down, down, get down on your knees
Running gonna bring you down
I'm a demon of disorder
You know I'm gonna drive you into the ground
As you're stepping through the door
Aah! My shadow crawls across your floor
Ouh! You dream of love
It's not enough, it's gonna come to nothing ooh
You ain't seen nothing, it's gonna get worse
Ooh! I'm nasty... nasty
Nothing to brag about, dragging in the dirt ooh ah
I'm a nasty piece of work!

Aah it's an even split
Between zip and the number on your ticket ouh yeah
You dream of love
It's not enough, it's gonna come to nothing
Nothing to brag about, dragging in the dirt
Yeah! You ain't seen nothing, it's gonna get worse
Nasty piece of work!
Ouh! I'm a nasty piece of work!
Ouh yeah! I'm a nasty piece of work!
Ha! Yeah! I'm a nasty piece of work!
Gha! He he he...

Door, don't close the door
I want to feel the cold
I want to see the light
Momma, where you gone?
This is no dream
Can't make it right if it's wrong
Your dancing with strangers, your fighting with friends
It's a matter of time between love and despair
Falling over the line, empty hearts and icy stares
Ooh call me Solitaire! Oouh!

The eyes in the face of the wall
Follow me 'round the room
Follow me everywhere
A heart without an echo
A man without a child, alone with all my sorrow
Your dancing with strangers, your fighting with friends
It's a matter of time between love and despair
Falling over the line, empty hearts and icy stares
Ooh call me Solitaire! Oouh oouh oouaah!

It's a matter of time between love and despair
Falling over the line, empty hearts and icy stares
Oh call me Solitaire, Solitaire, Solitaire! Ouh ouh Solitaire!

Cold beer, a strange cigarette
Getting you high, getting you wet
Falling in love, falling out of debt
Straight, gay, black or white
Strutting in the alley, hiding in the light
Doing it wrong, doing it right, just doing it!
You got your life on the one hand, mine in the other
I got the right, we all got the right
One man's meat is the other guy's lousy luck
One man's meat is someone's empty well
One man's meat is some guy's aching but
One man's meat, another man's living hell

Short, fat, thick or thin
Take it in the gut, take it on the chin
Living in glory, living in sin
A hard day's work going down slow
Riding the road where the green grass grows
Watching it die, what d'you know, watching it
You got your life on the one hand, mine in the other
I got the right, we all got the right
One man's meat yeah is the other man's lousy luck
One man's meat is someone's empty well
One man's meat is some guy's aching but
One man's meat is another guy's...Aaahya!

One man's meat yeah is the other guy's lousy luck
One man's meat is someone's empty well
One man's meat is some guy's aching but
One man's meat is another man's living hell
One man's meat is the other guy's lousy luck
One man's meat is someone's empty well
One man's meat is some guy's aching but
One man's meat, another man's living hell
