Fate looks certain but there's nothing guaranteed Want for nothing, but is nothing what you need? Always pushing but you're never satisfied I did believe you 'til I found out that you lied
Chorus: Time and time again Time and time again again
For what I give you I get nothing in return Can't forgive you watching all your bridges burn All day long I sat and watched you do it wrong Have to say that's how you did it all along
Chorus
But others wouldn't see things you could only see And someone showed you, then why was it always me You knew the limit you were always out of bounds How could I trust you when I caught you messing 'round
They decorated all the generals Who fought the wars behind the lines They had forgotten all the soldiers The brandy put them way behind the times
Insanity has found its way to TV screens Vision seems impossible to me They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country I never would have thought this in my
The evening comes, we sit and watch the VJs Clips and rushes come from who knows where From Washington across to California With fighting breaking out in Leicester Square
We see the soldiers moving on to victory And children trampled under marching feet They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country How many millions will they put to sleep?
Loneliness, a constant friend and lover I know well Crowded rooms the iron bar That surround me Trying hard to catch your eye Just once, you see Knowing from this moment if you did We could be
Chorus: One step closer Closer than we are One step closer Closer than before
So many lines, you've heard them all A lie in every one From men who never understand Your personality And though we never even met No talking needs to be done The hum of conversation will disolve you Into me
The door swings open but you won't go it You hate the movie that you haven't seen You couldn't see what I have in mind I see you laughing but you're Cutting it, cutting it fine
You never should have done those things to me There's one thread left 'tween you and history And while our temperature is rising high I'm warning you that you are Cutting it, cutting it fine
Cutting it, cutting it fine...
You gambled all on one important game Now take the debt and don't complain Your game was up, I saw it all the time I saw that vice, girl, you're Cutting it, cutting it fine
Your sole advisor watch out for yourself You never listen to anyone else You were the one who ignored the signs Dancing on a fine line Cutting it, cutting it fine
I saw you standing hand in hand But now you come to me the solitary man And I know what it is that made us live Such ordinary lives The where to go, the who to see No one could sympathize
The smile has left your eyes The smile has left your eyes
And I've become a rolling stone I don't know where to go Or what to call my own But I can see that black horizon Looming ever close to view It's over now, it's not my fault See how this feels for you
The smile has left your eyes The smile has left your eyes
I never thought I'd see you Standing there with him So don't come crawlin' back to me
I saw you standing hand in hand But now you come to me the solitary man And I know what it is that made us live Such ordinary lives The where to go, the who to see No one could sympathize
The smile has left your eyes Now it's too late you realized Now there's no one can sympathize Now that the smile has left your eyes
Now it's too late you realized Now there's no one can sympathize Now it's too late you realized Now that the smile has left your eyes
Hard Times you had before you I knew when I first saw you You girl you've always been mistreated, cheated
So leave it all behind you It took so long to find you I know that we can last forever, ever and more, more, oh
Don't cry now that I've found you Don't cry take a look around you Don't cry it took so long to find you Do what you want, but little darling please, don't cry
I knew I'd never doubt it I was so sure about it Don't think of all that's been before
I'll hear you when you're calling I'll catch you when you're falling Don't worry I will always be there Like never before, oh, oh
Don't cry now that I've found you Don't cry take a look around you Don't cry it took so long to find you Do what you want, but little darling please, don't cry
Don't cry now that I've found you Don't cry take a look around you Don't cry it took so long to find you Do what you want, but little darling please, don't cry
Don't cry now that I've found you Don't cry take a look around you Don't cry it took so long to find you Do what you want, but little darling please, don't cry
All through the winter I thought I'd never see you again Oh God where were you when I needed you I know that you, no, you would never have betrayed me I thought I'd die, why? All the reasons still evade me But you're back
Chorus: Now I can see you Now I can feel you Now that I want you Now I can touch you Next to me Here it comes
Here comes the feeling Here comes that same old feeling Here comes the feeling Here comes that same old feeling
This is for real, I never felt so good before I see the world through different eyes Now that you're back, nothing in the least can overcome me Misery gone, plus all the doubt that overran me But you're back
I heard you on my wireless back in '52 Lying awake, intent on tuning in on you If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through Oh-Oh
They took the credit for your second symphony Rewritten by machine on new technology And now I understand the supernova scene Oh-Oh
I met your children Oh-Oh What did you tell them?
Video killed the Radio star Video killed the Radio star
'Cause in my mind and in my car We can't rewind we've gone too far Woah! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And now we meet in an abandoned studio You hear the playback and it seems so long ago And you remember the jingles used to go
Oh-Oh You were the first one Oh-Oh You were the last one
Video killed the Radio star Video killed the Radio star
'Cause In my mind and in my car We can't rewind, we've gone too far Too far!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Alright!
Video killed the Radio star Video killed the Radio star
'Cause in my mind and in my car We can't rewind we've gone too far Pictures came and broke your heart So put all the blame on VCR
You are the radio staaaaar You are the radio staaaaar
Video killed the Radio star Video killed the Radio star Video killed the Radio star Video killed the Radio star Video killed the Radio star Video killed the Radio star Video killed the Radio star Video killed that Radio star, Yes it did
You're leaving now It's in your eyes There's no disguising it It really comes as no surprise To find that you planned it all along
I see it now Becomes so clear Your insincerity And me all starry-eyed You'd think that I would have known by now
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky The lie is over Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over
CHORUS: Only time will tell One thing is sure That time will tell Only time will tell If you were wrong The brightest ring around the moon Will darken when I die
Now sure as the sun will cross the sky The lying's over Gone, like the tears that used to tide me over
You're leaving now It's in your eyes There's no disguising it It really comes as no surprise To find that you planned it all along
Only time will tell I see it now, become so clear Only time will tell Your insincerity And me all starry-eyed You'd think that I would have known by now
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky The lie is over Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over
Only time will tell You're on your own inside your room Only time will tell You're claiming victory You were just using me And there is no one you can use now Only time will tell One thing is sure...
Many days I've traveled but I know not where I'm going to I'm lost, lost along the way From Mexico to Paris, always the same solitary circle In an empty cafe Their faces were so empty meaningless and negative to me I could have died The bodies and the strangers reflected in their glasses as they drank not seeing eye to eye
Ride Easy my friends this journey ends before it begins Ride Easy my friends this story ends before it begins
Long dead Winter when I thought that Spring would never come again melting the snow Many days I've reveled evenings through to mornings through to evenings with nothing to show
Ride Easy my friends this journey ends before it begins Ride Easy my friends this story ends before it begins, oh
Their faces were so empty meaningless and negative to me I could have died The bodies and the strangers reflected in their glasses as they drank not seeing eye to eye Many days I've traveled going ‘round in social circles lost, lost along the way Many nights I've reveled but I thought I saw the message in a bottle and drifting away
I never meant to be so bad to you One thing I said that I would never do One look from you and I would fall from grace And that would wipe this smile right from my face
Do you remember when we used to dance And incidence arose from circumstance One thing lead to another we were young And we would scream together songs unsung
It was the heat of the moment Telling me what your heart meant Heat of the moment shone in your eyes
And now you find yourself in 82 The disco hotspots hold no charm for you You can't concern yourself with bigger things You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings
And when your looks are gone and you're alone How many nights you sit beside the phone What were the things you wanted for yourself Teenage ambition you remember well
