Long After Dark

Every woman and every man,
Knows the feeling so well
Those times when the heart just can't understand,
The times when you never can te ll

So deliver me, deliver me
Baby take this heart, set it free
Take this chance, take this dream
Baby take this heart
Deliver me

I was born with something down inside of me
And it's carried me over, delivered me
Y eah delivered me, i'm standing' at your gate
Just out of reach of the hands of fate

So deliver me, deliver me
Baby take this heart, set it free
Take this chance, take this dream
Baby take this heart
Deliver me

Sometim es i wonder if this is worth the trouble
Sometimes i wonder if this is worth the fight
I never have made my mind up about it
I've just decided to let it all ride

Yeah i remember you back in '72
With your david bowie hair and your platform shoes
A part-time job, sellin' fast food
But out on the street you were nobody's fool

Baby way down deep it's the same old you
Way down deep you ain't hiding the truth
Just for a minute you had me fooled
Baby way down deep it's the same old you

Well you can walk through the city on fire
You can try and turn away from the truth
Living life like a young politician
Sure of yourself and bullet-proof
But baby,

Way down deep it's the same old you
Way down deep you ain't hiding the truth
Just for a minute you had me confused
Baby way down deep it's the same old you

We could buy a '62 cadillac
Put a fender amplifier in the back
Drive straight to the heart of america
Turn up to ten, let that sucker blast

Baby way down deep it's the same old you
Way down deep you ain't hiding the truth
Just for a minute you had me fooled
Baby way down deep it's the same old you

I'm for standin' up, i'm for breakin' free
I don't want fate handed down to me
Yeah i'm for movin' on, try another town
Time ain't changin' nothin', take a look around

Oh, i'm lost in a one story town
Where everything's close to the ground
Yeah the same shit goes down
Nothing turns around
It's a one story town

She was only seventeen
But i held her to her word
Had to push her luck
Thought she couldn't burn

No it didn't hurt me
When she had to leave
She had a far away feeling
Wasn't part of me

Oh, i'm lost in a one story town
Where everything's close to the ground
Yeah the same shit goes down
Nothing turns around
It's a one story town

I know you're walkin' down a lonely street
I know you can't get out of the heat
Baby it's alright
Don't have a wasted life

I know you have to feel a little used up
And no one can give you enough
Baby hold on tight

Don't have a wasted life
I love you too much
Don't have a wasted life
I love you too much

They give it to you from the time you're born
You keep tryin' to make one more score
Baby it's alright
You gotta stand and fight
So when you're lonely and you fe el let down
You can call me i'll come around
And treat you nice
Don't have a wasted life
I love you too much uh, uh, uh, don't have a wasted life

Well i fought for you
I fought too hard
To do it all again babe,
Its gone to far
You never needed me
You only wanted me around
It gets me down

There's been a change,
Yeah there's been a change of heart
Said there's been a change
You push just a little too far
Made it just a little to hard
There's been a change of heart

I'll get over you
It won't take long
I've stood in your gallery
Seen what's hangin' from the wall

You were the moon and sun,
You're just a loaded gun now
It gets me down

There's been a change,
Yeah there's been a change of heart
Said there's been a change
You push just a little too far
You make it just a little to hard
There's been a change of heart

Whoa yeah, oh boy
Looks like we finally reachedthe turning point
Oh me, oh my
Looks like its time for me to kiss it good-bye,
Yeah kiss it good-bye

There's been a change,
Yeah there's been a ch ange of heart
Said there's been a change
You push just a little too far
You make it just a little to hard
There's been a change of heart
