The Wild, The Willing & The Innocent

Jack of diamonds/ is a gambling man/ ["together were men"]
He played the tables /whenever he can/["while he can"]
Take some advice boy stay clean stay out of his way
Little jeannie is a dancing queen
/she's been/ ["she bounce 'n"] shaking it since she was sixteen
Skips across the tables acting out her passion play

It wasn't for money, it's only a chance
You take a gamble, got shot ["let's cut"] for romance

Chains, chains pulling you down
Chain of love that turns your world around
Chains chains pulling you down
Chain of love that turns your world around

Without a warning /jeannie took off/ ["she took off"] one night
Jack got so mean boy, he just had to fight
He died on the floor someone else evens the score
Back on the tables/ jeannie's romance had died/ ["she's roaming tonight"]
That one look of love that told her a lie
And for her there's no waves crashing on seashores

* repeat

Chains chains...chains chains...

Sarah has her dreams and makes her plans
To get what she wants when she can
A little bit of heaven was all she asked for
In those silent moments deep in the night
She'd find herself make it feel all right
Hungers for the bright life and something more

With her young heart so gently beating
A secret rendezvous lovers meeting
Out in the night, out in the night night night night
Played on the radio, heard on the news
Baby's gone lost they found her shoes
You can turn out the light
You better turn out the light

* you go walking on the wild side
Learn how to run 'cause you can't hide
Better steel yourself away
Another page, another day
In your lonely heart
Beating out in the dark
Lonely heart

And beneath the lights the rock 'n' roll band
Electric guitars, one night stands
Are you giving away, giving away
With hungry and oh so desperate eyes
The souls who get hurt believe in their lies
You only betray only betray

[instrumental]

And now you cry yourself to sleep

Against the odds you wanted to beat
You never say no, never say no no no no
Left with the promises that you swore
The price you pay is the love you tore
Now where did it go, where did it go

* repeat

All the boys hangin' out down in the parking lot
The night riders giving all they got
While the girls look so good at looking bad
/out strutting/ ["i'm struggling"] dressed in the latest fad
Valentino looks for something new
Escapes for the night and waits his cue
And i love the way they make their move
Yes i love the way they're makin' moves

Kids clothe armour hands like battle dress
Got his act down, some kind of feeling
And tonight they're gonna make the run
Downtown, call the garrison
From the back roads through the alleys it screams
You gotta get a feeling mean, mean, mean
And i love the way they make their move
Yes i love the way they're makin' moves

[instrumental]

"rockface" going nowhere fast
Some gonna make it, some don't even last
Just one night they don't give a damn
I'm the star , hides another sham
There's no silver and there's no gold
It's just that one shot before they're old
And i love the way they make their move
Yes i love the way they make you move
Ooh i love i just love the way they make their move
Makin' moves

You wake up in the morning
Look for a clue, something new
Turn on the radio and it's as dead
As the visions dying in your head
And when you were young
You had big ideas no hidden fears
You had your heroes they were walkin' tall
Now your devotion seems comical

So now you' got older
And the world's got colder than it used to be
Every day gets longer and turns into the darker night
Down in the gutter nothing seems to matter 'cos you're history
I couldn't get it, i couldn't get it right

You played the game as children
Didn't understand life's not so grand
Love hurts you and you could feel the lonely, lonely one
Some people got it easy
They got it made, so unafraid
You'll be the fool and /fight/find/ the winner he's gonna take it all
