Fallen Angel

How strange when
You know the feeling
That something ain't right
You're fooled by the need of being
You're blind to the light
Don't ask where
The stranger leads you
He'll show you the way
Just go out and make your conquest
You've something to say

I'm alive, i'm alive and i'm me
I've just got to be free
I'm alive to the world

There's been so much
Bad time wasted
Just look and you'll see
We've got so much going for us
It's not just a dream
Let's look and we'll find the answers
To questions i've made
We'll reach out for new beginnings
Let love show the way

Let's leave our past behind
The love can make us blind
But now we know
That we're alive

Cheater, i know where you've been
Cheater, your lies
Can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how i know
Cheater, i guess it's time for you to go

I'm tired of chasing shadows
So lllusive in the night
And your empty words
That leave me high and dry
Now the curtain's finally fallen
On this fantasy affair
You've had me for the last time
With your lies

Cheater, you're a cheater
I know where you've been
Cheater, your lies
Can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how i know
Cheater, i guess it's time for you to go

The voices in the wind i heard
Kept telling me to run
Whispering a warning to my heart
And the voices deep as thunder
Tried to speak of things to come
I was blinded then
But now i see the light

Cheater, you're a cheater
And i know where you've been
Cheater, mean mistreater
Your lies can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how i know
Cheater, i guess it's time
For you to go

Alone again, i feel so alone again
With this emptiness i just can't hide
Picture me with a broken heart
See the tears run down my face

Everything i had has gone
Everything is gone
Loneliness still lingering on
Everything i thought was mine
Come back to me
Can't we try it one more time
Come back to me

I know i'll find another love in time
But you'll always be there
In the back of my mind
The power of love
Can bring such pain
I still love you, i just love you

Alone again, i'm so alone again
With nothing but you on my mind
Can't you see
What you've done to my life
What can i do to
Win you back again

I must thank lord
In my hour of need
I've given way to a better man
But i ain't been free
To push the hour here
In this soul of mine
I've burned my bridges
And i'm satisfied

The preacher's due here
In an hour or so
To give me reasons for
The things i know
I might have been careless and i
I might have been blind
If i'm the guilty, i'm satisfied

Oh woman, why did you
Do me wrong?
Sending me down and
I just can¡®t get along
When daybreak comes and
I've reached the end of the line
I have a right to live
And i'm left to die

It all seems so hazy now
It seems so long ago
She hid the things she'd done
Or things i should know
What was i to do for
The hurting here inside
I kill for love but the ...

I have a right to live
When i'm left to die
Oh, woman
I have a right to live ...

Love, love, love
I'm looking for love
Love, love, love

When i was only sixteen
Well, give it take a year or more
I've got to singing about
The life i've lead
And i threw it right out of the door

I've got to get some of
That heavy jive
That the old folks are talkin' about
So i strutted my stuff
To the local club
To see what i was leaving now

Looking for love, love, love
Looking, looking for love
Love, love, love

I took my seat at
The foot of the stage
And waited for the fun to begin
And there in the light
Stood this heavy chick
With the cutest babe
That i've ever seen

She smiled at me
She did her dance
Took me by surprise
The way she wiggled her hips
And she shook that ...
Right between the eyes

After the show she came
And sat down
Said: hi son, what's your name?
I said: never mind that
Think about this:
Loving's the name of my game

She said: that's alright
But it'll cost you, son
I said: tell me what's
The price of the day
She said: twenty dime
And a wedding ring
And everything will be o.k.

Ride along lady woman of the night
Looking for a place to go
Dancing on storm clouds
Hiding from the light
Looking for an easy joe
You just wanna play around
Searching for a higher ground

Walking every side street
Kicking up the leaves
Running from the pouring rain
Standing on the corners
Shaking from the cold
Only got yourself to blame
You just wanna play around
Searching for a higher ground

Someone who could
Make you happy
Someone who would care
You've broken your life
Beyond repair
You're reaching for every rainbow
You're wondering why
Don't reach out for love
'cause it's a lie

You've got your number on the wall
Of some deserted station hall
Is this your only claim to fame
Will you just play your waiting game
But you won't stop the things you do
Some night the evil get to you

One more night ...

City lights are
Burning in the distance
Seems they're tellin' me
To hurry home
But i can't push these
Wheels of mine no harder
So hold on baby for
One more night alone

There's time for me to take just
One look over my shoulder
One last glance at
What's been going on
'cause i'll be there at
First light in the morning
We'll pick up the pieces
And baby, then we'll be long gone

Pick up the pieces and run with me
As fast as you can
You know you always said
I was the man
Pick up the pieces, let's do it now
Let's say our last farewell
Tomorrow may be too late
As far as i can tell
