I'm 3000 miles from home, I'm so tired and I'm all alone,
It's a good thing I'm single, wish I could swing all nite long,
but I got a job with a price on my head so I must get away,
It's one hell of a life style but then it brings in the pay,
Nowhere to hang my gun (No time to say hello)
And every mother's son (He wants to see you swing)
I take the job again (And you will never know)
I dread the moment when (The telephone will ring)

I got a Luger strapped to my thigh, I got a Magnum as well,
I got my cold eyes for comfort, I can be hotter than hell
I'm a professional man, I could see you in seconds flat
I can show you no mercy, well they don't pay me for that.
A fine political mess (and someone's got to go)
Just leave name, time and address (in plain sealed envelope)
I get out just in time (and no-one tells the tale)
And all that's left is mine (but how do you feel?)

Danger money

Danger money

I'm a soldier of fortune, I've got the will to survive,
But when the brass tacks are down I'm lucky to be alive,
When I think back on my past, well I'd do the same thing again,
I got a bug now for the danger, just take the money and run.
I start this whole machine (And when the bullets fly)
I'm nowhere to be seen (You're too afraid to die)
It's on the news tonight (They wonder who you are)
I'm on another flight (but you're going nowhere)

It's 5 o'clock
driving sown Park Lane
and London leaves
for the weekend again
through the dark city streets
in the clinging rain
I take my car
towards the Thames
and Waterloo.....

6:02 Waterloo

Was that a face I saw?
No, just a trick of light
It's getting clearer now
but moving out of sight
It's cold and late
and I can't miss that train
I turn around
walk through the arch
of Waterloo

I saw the same hooded face

He beckoned me from the gate
"Did you not know, my friend?
Ten years ago was the end
After the war
Waterloo was no more,
But your ticket states
There is one train
It's leaving now
And there is a place

Remember my face
and Waterloo....."

Midnight Mass a yellow moon
Wonder walked from my window
Now she sings a different tune
Golden tunes, out of the blue

Now the sky is clearing
Looking through her crystal eyes
Waiting Windows loom before hre
Cutting her back down to size

The thing she's searching for is
The only thing she needs

Gazing in simplycity
toward ambitions that she craves
The best thing since Arithmetic
MBB's and current raves

Now the sky is clearing
Looking through her crystal eyes
Waiting Widows loom before her
Cutting her back down to size

The thing she's searching for is
The only thing she needs

Creamed-up kitten screaming for her next injection
Dead dog in the driveway - protein intection
The most exclusive restaurants have a few uninvited divers
Don't worry if you're under age - they've special schemes for minors

Caesar's Palace blues

You lost your shirt on your last hand, you nearly sold your shoes
You came up tumps last weekend so you've got to pay your dues
Cards fall, faces change, Cat's cunning shows
Same rules still apply, either way you lose

Caesar's Palace blues

Lovers on the carpet, Cupid's dream for certain
But there's always someone hiding right behind the hotel curtain
They've cameras in the casino and bugs under your bed
But all the gold in Reno couldn't bring old Caesar back from dead.

Caesar's Palace blues

Nothing to lose

Now I can really break it
Now I don't have to fake it
Forget it then I don't need it
If it ain't hot I'll leave it

Nothing to show but no-one to stop me I'm going away
I'm kicking my heels, rolling the wheels and I'm leaving today
                                                    yeah, yeah

Nothing to lose

I gotta run for my life
Shoot out and shine those searchy lights
I'm really top cross that border line
'm going to make it stick this time

Nothing to show but no-one to stop me I'm going away
I'm kicking my heels, rolling the wheels and I'm leaving today
                                                    yeah, yeah

Nothing to lose

Ad Lib.

Stop........

been wrong so many times before
was always laying down the law
and all attractions ware a bore
they led me back to you

Uniforms were an allergy
they never felt quite right to me
they conjured wartime Germany
ang God knows we need that

Temptation boundaries does vener know
the time when my morale was low
the circumstances always show
the place was yours or mine

Carrying no cross before me
with no prze no to idolize no story
to hell of adolescent glory

Just void... empty spaces nothing to show
no point of reference to place to go
but one thing I'd ignored and so
the light came shining through

INSTRUMENTAL

I've been wrong so many times before
was always laying down the law
one thing you cannot ignore
bad boys can come clean

Emotions I could not control

Illuminate my heart and soul
I saw a light, I scored a goal
and what price peace of mind?
