Caught in the crossfire, warnin' fight
Legends make or break game
Swept up by the rolling waves of the night
The paper chase for fame

I was too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I was too, too hot
Too hot to handle

Wink of an eye, the feelings ran high
A real rock and roll molest
But I ain't no romance
And I ain't no slow chance
Won't get no quick change

(1)And I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle

(2)Sha la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
Sha la la la , keep on coming
Do it once but never the same

[INSTRUMENTAL]

(2)Repeat

I'm in your town, won't fool around
I'll make some action stick
Just like the story says, these boys are bad
So keep out of shootin' range

(1) Repeat
(1) Repeat (ad lib)

Just a bad situation
Got me low, feelin' down
I'm wonderin' why
Caught me unawares
No one knows and no one cares
They put you down no matter how you try

(1) Put the words together
Feelin' so strong
I can't last forever
I can't hold on, I can't hold on, no no

Somebody, someone is tearin' my whole inside
Somebody, someone is takin' me for a ride
Just a little bit of madness
Do you no harm

(2) Another night, it's a nervous shakedown
Lookin' for a place to hide
This could be your nervous breakdown
It's just another suicide

Just a cold realization, gotta go
I'm gonna turn and run away
Got me in a spin, I'm gonna lose and never win
They put you down no matter what you say

(1) Repeat

I can't hold on, no no

[INSTRUMENTAL]

(2) Repeat

[piano break]

Just a bad situation
I can feel it gettin' closer everyday
Say I'm out of line
[I'm takin' out of borrowed time]
What's the use of tryin' anyway

(1) Repeat

Somebody, someone is takin' me for a ride
Somebody, someone is tearin' my whole inside
Just a little bit of madness
Do you no harm

(2) Repeat

(3)Another suicide, another suicide
Another suicide, another suicide
Another suicide, another suicide

Tell me why we're never more than strangers
Tell me why you never let it show

(1) But when you're close to me
And whisper, I need you
In the cold mornin' light

(2)Try me, oh take me for a little while
before it's over and you leave me with just a smile
Try me, oh let me be the one
You say it's over
But for me it had just begun

Tell me why we seem no more than strangers
Tell me why you feelin' never goes

(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Wind blows back and the batons charging
It winds all the way
Right to the butt of my gun
Maybe now your time has come

From the back streets there's a rumblin'

Smell of anarchy
No more nice time, bright boy shoe shines
Pie in the sky dreams

(1) Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait 'til tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on [my] run

Heaven help those who help themselves
That's the way it goes
The frightening thoughts of what's been taught
And now it shows

(1) Repeat

[INSTRUMENTAL]

(1) Repeat

You keep comin', there's no runnin'
Tried a thousand times
Under your feet grass is growin'
Time we said goodbye

(1) Repeat

Lights out, lights out in London
Lights out, lights out in London

You said that was that but this is it
How are you to make the pieces fit
Into a plan to start a new life
Friends pat your back, then stab you with a knife

(2) I must be blind
I'm gettin' ready to redefine
No [loose connections] as it feels right
I'm gettin ready to hit the [line]

Can you fee me
Inside and out, I'm just waiting for you
[Cuz] it's alright
Now I know just what I want to do

(2) Repeat

When a day breaks, turns you around
And your world upside down
And the visions fade
Rights and wrongs and just where you've gone

(2) Repeat

[Pickin' up] is such an awful drag
And I could lose my mind
And every time that I turned around
I never knew if I could really find you

[INSTRUMENTAL]

(1)Repeat

(2) Repeat

Yeah, said it's alright, I won't forget
All the times I've waited patiently for you
And you do just what you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear

Yeah, I heard a funny thing somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost anyone
I think that people are the greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight my dear

[INSTRUMENTAL]

(1) Repeat

(1) On the wires I can hear you comin'
With a rush and a strummin'
This electric phase ain't no teenage craze
In your house a phone is ringin'
Just a hot touch that keeps lingerin'
You said loving's easy only if you please
All I need is communication
Not a line on your reputation
I don't want a handshake
There ain't no big mistake

(2)There's no illusion in this wild confusion
Who knows I'm crazy, no chance of maybe

I'd like to know you better
But I"m goin' down so fast
Help me now to feel it, I just can't conceal it
Meantime I've got to show you how it's really got to be
Just let me be alone, left with your darlin' tone

(2) Repeat

[INSTRUMENTAL]

(1) Repeat

Oh it's been too many times and I can't go back
Night bars, guitars, rundown motels like shacks
What it mounts up to I don't want it at all
Lost you and I want you today

(1) Misty green and blue
Love to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Love to love to love you

To be something, to be near you
Don't say that youll never know
Love to love to love you

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Half the time it could seem funny
The other half is just too sad
This west bound moon's only rise and fall
Lost you and I want you today

(1) Repeat

To be something, to be near you
I don't know where I'm goin' to
I've tried and I need you to stay
