Somewhere out in the back of your mind (Somewhere)
Comes your real life and the life that you know
It seems like it was the creation of some of those same old things
It seemed to be the only thing left out in the light
She had trusted many...
But been unfamiliar with...
Almost everyone but you

Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself...
I have known this much longer than I've known you

She had trusted many...
And then there would be someone who would enter into her presence
That she could sense for miles...
She dreamed of her wanton luxury
And she laughed and she cried...and she tried to taunt him
And he hated to be separated...
From that picture...No...

Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Ooh, well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself...
Well I have known this much longer than I've known you

Long nets of white cloud my memory...
Long nets of white cloud my memory...
Ooh...there is magic...all around you...
Everytime you walk in the room...

Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself...
Well I have known this much longer than I've known you...

Can I be of any help to you, baby?
She says, "Help me, help her, help him too."
Well I made up my mind...I won't be calling
I think about you and...
I think about the heartbroken ones...

It's a real long way to go...to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun...tell the world
Well it's a real long way to go...to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun...tell the world

High in my life...obsessive was my love
Worth it was my time...Oh no, you are fading out
Well I can do it...
Well I can make it one more time

It's a real long way to go...to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun...tell the world
Well it's a real long way to go...to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun...tell the world

(Guitar solo)

Can I be of any help to you?
She says, "Help him, help her, help him too, baby"
Well I can do it...
Well I can make it one more time

Well it's a real long way to go...to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun...tell the world
Well it's a real long way to go...to say goodbye
I thought we already said that
So have fun...tell the world

You were high in my life...obsessive was my love
So have fun...tell the world
Oh no, you are fading out
Well can you be of any help to me? (Can I be of any help to you?)
I don't think so (Help him...help her)
Well I can do it...
Well I can make it...
Well can you be of any help to me? (Have fun...tell the world)
Ooooohhh...You were high in my Life...

(Great temptation...)

Ooh and on you run...
You search for love...and you hate searching
You wait for love...and you hate waiting...
You say, "I hate this!"
Well it's just another test...
'Cause there are two kinds of love.
To do the thing that we do the best...
My masterpiece...

Who in the world do you think that you are fooling?
Well I've already done everything that you are doing
Well the two of us, well we must be...
A great temptation to have even started
Well don't you know, as you walk on by
That great temptations never really die...

Well I talked to my famous friend last night
My third day up...well, his second nighter
He says, "I don't know how you do what you do...how do you
let the world in?"
Well I say, "Well there's no way out..."
Then I just play out the game
Well the two of us...Widow and a Dove

Who in the world do you think that you are fooling?
Well I've already done everything that you are doing
Well the two of us, well we must be...
A great temptation to have even started
Well don't you know, as you walk on by
That great temptations never really die...

(Sax Solo)

Ooh the two of us...
Estranged sometimes for their very survival
Outraged at each other...engaged to each other in their hearts...
But they live apart...

Two kinds of love...
One for the way you walk...
One for the way you love me...
(You're a great temptation...)

Two kinds of love...
One for the way you walk...
One for the way you love me...
(Two kinds of love...great temptation...)

(Repeat)

(Ooh my love...)

In the shadow of the castle walls
Wherever those walls were
Well you used to love...to be behind...those walls with her
Within these walls...
Well he watched from the corridor...
Watched from the corner of his eyes...
Seemingly waiting for the time...
When the castle walls...would all fall down

Yes it was a strain on her...
Watching her castles fall down
Oh...but there was a time when...he called her "angel"
Where in the world did you come from?

In the shadow of the castle walls
Wherever those walls were
In this land or in that land
Well the castles all seem to belong to her
And all this talk...about love and hate
And our separation way on down the line...
Well they just can't wait, can they?
No they just can't wait...

Yes it was a strain on her...
Watching her castles fall down
Oh...but there was a time when...he called her "angel"
Where in the world did you come from?
Yes it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh...but there was a time when...he called her "angel"
Where in the world did you come from?

There was a light that lighted the way to the chamber...
Where they spent all their time, well...
There was a light that lighted the way to the chamber door where...
They seemed to spend all their time...

Ooh my love...Ooh my love...Ooh my love...

Yes it was a strain on her...
Watching her castles fall down
Oh...but there was a time when...he called her "angel"
Where in the world did you come from?
Yes it was a strain on her...
Watching her castles fall down
Oh...but there was a time when...he called her "angel"
Where in the world did you come from?
Yeah it was a strain on her...
Watching her castles fall down
Hey, hey, baby...No one can take you away from me...no...no one...
In the shadow of the castle walls...

And the rain was there...
There were many nights...
And a few of them, were all that you had dreamed of
Love was the thing...
And you feel as if someone was following you
But you know you are wrong...
It's just the ghost of what you want to be
And the ghost of the past that you live in

It's just the ghost of what you really want
And it's the ghost of the past that you live in
And it's the ghost of the future you are frightened of
So you look to your guardian angel

So long ago I was an innocent...
It had nothing to do with age
One day they were lovers...one day they were friends
There was nothing else to say

Well just the ghost of what you want to be
And the ghost of the past that you live in
It's the ghost of the future that you're so frightened of
So you turn to your guardian angel

And a few of them were all that you really dreamed of
Love was the thing...
So the silver-haired girl looks for escapism

To feel the empty spaces she's feeling
She depends on her music like a husband
And she knows it's no good to fall in love again...
One day they were lovers...one day they were friends
There was nothing else to say

It's just the ghost of the past of what you want to be
And the ghost of the past that you live in
Ghost of the future that you're so frightened of
So you look to your guardian...

So you look...to your guardian angel
Some of them are here on earth...
Well some of them are way up there in heaven...

So you look...to your guardian angel
Some of them are here on earth...
Some of them are...way up there in heaven...heaven...

Would you change your mind, at the very last moment
Would you say stop for a second...I'll bet you could think for a minute
In the morning light...he says, "When will I see you?"
She says, "I don't think tomorrow, baby"
Sometimes I wonder if things would change if we stayed together
Would you change your mind, at the very last minute
I think you should stop for a second...Think for a moment

This could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you
Well this could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you

And the angel said, "Well you must have had a dream...
And you remember it..."Till the dream followed through...
Till the -- end of the dream...and the dream came true
When I want something...I get it
"You'd better go," he says, "Yes I think I better,"
Stop for a moment...I think you should think for a minute
Would you change your mind, at the very last minute
When I want something...I get it!

Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you
Well this could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble, baby
Whole lotta trouble for you

Oh yeah, oh yeah...Not guilty...Have mercy!
Oh he says, "You could be my prisoner...
Well you're not living in the real world...
You're not living in the real world."

You're not my friend...you're not my love
And this is something that we really don't discuss
"Where are you?" Sometimes I hear you crying...
And I wake up...and I get through it

Well this could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you...
Well this could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble, baby
A whole lotta trouble for you...

[Repeat]

(Burning...)
A huge fire was burning
And her eyes grew strangely bright
She turned around in her room...
What could she take and still survive the fire?
But then again, there was a window
You know it's an illusion...
There is no fire burning...just a soul crying

So cry for me...take a little time...and then stop
It's just something that you cannot see...so stop!
She swings around on the second story...
"I'll get down," she says
Well there is no fire burning...just a soul crying

I will...you know
So I take it to the limit
I will...you know...as I always have
I understand your position...
I withdraw my decision
Well I've got no more information for you

So still there is a fire...that no one sees
She doesn't even see it either...
Or so everyone thinks...
But then again, there was a window
You know it's an illusion...
There is no fire burning...just a soul crying

There's no fire
There is no fire
Well there's no fire burning...just a soul crying...
(It's just a soul...crying...)

You couldn't wait for answers
You just had to try those wings
And all your happy-ever-afters...
They didn't mean a thing
So I'm not gonna try at all
To keep you from the flame
Just remember not to call...my name...

When you cry wolf
Once too often
You cry wolf
No, I won't come knockin'
You cry wolf
I won't hear you anymore

If you start to stumble
If you start to crack
If you're feeling humble...
Don't look back

When you cry wolf
Once too often
You cry wolf
No, I won't come knockin'
You cry wolf
I won't hear you anymore

You can try but you can't get me...
Into the fire
'Cause I'm all out of sympathy...
And, baby, I can't walk this wire

Find yourself somebody new
To catch you when you fall
'Cause I got just one thing to say to you
And, baby, that's all...

When you cry wolf
Once too often
You cry wolf
No, I won't come knockin'
You cry wolf
I won't hear you...
You cry wolf
Well, once too often
You cry wolf
No, I won't come knockin'
You cry wolf
I won't see you...
So you cry wolf
Once too often
Cry wolf
On no, I won't come knockin'
If you cry wolf...
I won't see you...
'Cause you cried wolf...

Well I heard she flew down to the Mountain City
He said, "That's not what I heard...I hear she went higher."
She depended on her friends to tell her when to stop it
To make a statement...this is me talking to you

Like Alice through the Looking Glass...
She used to know who she was
Call out my name...call out my name
But I get no answer...she prays...

"Better run for your life!" cried the Mad Hatter
"Alright," said Alice..."I'm going back...
To the other side of the mirror...I'm going back..."
Oh no, you cannot tell a gypsy...ooh, that she's no longer a member
Become a deadly weapon now...along with everything else
Oh call my name...

Like Alice through the Looking Glass...
She used to know who she was
Call out my name (like Alice through the Looking Glass)
but I get no answer (she used to know who she was)
And she prays for the world that she comes from

Each had their own charm...
Buried beneath a solid piece of armour...or a steel plated vest
Some carry a stiletto in their garter along with everything else --
that they carry...Oh, call my name...

Like Alice through the Looking Glass
She used to know who she was
Call out my name (like Alice through the Looking Glass)
But I get no answer (she used to know who she was)
And she prays for the world that she comes from
Alice!...call my name...

"Ooh run for your life..." said the Mad Hatter
"Alright," said Alice..."I'm going back to the other side of the mirror"
This is me talking to you...well this is me talking to ya
Alice...Alice...

It was way too hard...it was way too tough...
On this she had not bargained
But she was like some missionary dancing to the beat of some
man's ancient drum
And she tries hard to tell this story...but it's a hard one to tell
She consults her book of Miracles...
Cry...and the wind says fly on
Well now you're on your own
You're back out on the road again for a million reasons
Well you're back out on the road again
And you try to tie together some connections...
You get some ribbons and some bows and get back out on the road again

So you found a queen without a king
Oh yes, and everyone here loved her...no one was wrong
But you're a little bit like her
You're just a little bit like her
A little bit like her...a little bit like Juliet

Turn to the blue crystal mirror...well as always it is truthful
Oh, well you see it in the reflection of the real blue lamp
Well tie the connection...get some ribbons and some bows...get back
out on the road
But when they were good...they were really good...really good stranger

So you found a queen without a king
Oh yes, and everyone here loved her...no one was wrong
You're a little bit like her
You're just a little bit like her
A little bit like her...a little bit like Juliet

Let the crisis become a bridge...and cross that bridge tomorrow
Well let the time that goes between, baby...
Well let it let go of the sorrow
She says "The sky is crying." He says "No, the sky is blue."
He says "The sky is not crying," he says "The sky is blue."
She says "The sky is crying." He says "The sky is blue."
Can you get into that?
"The sky is crying..." He says "No, the sky is blue..."

It was one for you...it was three for me
It was very nice...it was everything
So here it is...in little pieces...
I just played the part...I didn't win or lose
Maybe next time I'll think about how I'm feeling...
"Cause I'm doing the best that I can
And the whispered secrets...go on and on
No one says anything to anyone
You watch after her...and your word is law
She thought she was out there...but nobody saw
I didn't win or lose...I just threw the cards
But I paid a price for it...

And it's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
And I'm trying hard to change...I'm doing it the best that I can
Well because fate causes fortune and fortune takes it away
Well it's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can

I was silent...I was locked away
But I covered my tears...
Silent all day
It's out of my hands here

In my distress...well I wanted someone to blame me
In my devastation...I wanted so to change
In my way...disaster was the only thing that I could depend on...

But it's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
Yes it's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
Because fate causes fortune and fortune takes it away
And then fortune causes nightmares...nightmares that make you crazy
It's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
It's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
Oh he says, "Well I hear you're doing fine and you're doing the
best that you can."
Well he says, "Oh, I hear you're doing fine and you're doing the
best that you can."

Ooh she says, "It's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can."
Yes it's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
Oh and he says, "I hear you're doing fine and you're doing it the
best that you can."
Oh and he says, "Ooh I hear she's doing fine and she's doing it
the best that she can."
Oh and I paid a price for it...
I'm doing the best that I can...

Outside my door...the rain is falling
A cold, wild wind will come
Well there's someone for me...somewhere
But I still miss that one

No I never got over those blue eyes
I see them...everywhere...
And I miss...those arms that held me
Baby, when all the love was there

Well I wonder...if he's sorry
For ending what we had begun
Well there's someone...someone for me somewhere
Baby, well I still miss someone

And I never got over those blue eyes
I see them...everywhere...
And I miss...those arms that held me
Ooh baby, when all the love was there

And I never got over those blue eyes
I see them...everywhere...
And I miss...those arms that held me
Baby, when all the love was there
Baby, when all the love was there
Baby, when all the love was there...
