I took a train to the Berlin station.
Rendez vous with a Paraguayan agent. He had the film, I had the vault-key. I checked the stills, that's when he caught me. A sudden blow from behind. A perfumed note saying, Better luck next time. We met again at a Turkish bath in Turkey. On the trail of a smacked-out Iraqi. He had the name of a dame from the K.G.B. Who knew that you were doing some work for me. You scrubbed his back, I bugged the tub. He spilled the beans and you pulled the plug. “See you in Prague, my love? she said. “See you in Prague, we'll go to bed, And then we'll disappear into the fog, See you in Prague? On the run from the Cuban secret service Major Cruz was a man with a purpose. He ran me down to a hotel in Geneva. You checked in he was poised with a cleaver. One little job his eyes rolled back. Curare looked just like a heart attack. “See you in Prague, my love? she said. “See you in Prague, we'll go to bed, And then we'll disappear into the fog, See you in Prague? You have this habit of turning up In Budapest, Suez, Nicaragua. “See you in Prague, my love? she said. “See you in Prague, we'll go to bed, And then we'll disappear into the fog, See you in Prague? |

I started out to get your full attention.
But I just have to say. There's just one thing that I forgot to mention. You'd better stay away. Keep away from me. Keep away from me. Keep away from me. Keep away from me. You always brag about your latest venture. How much you're gonna make. I'm not opposed to making lots of money. But how much does it take. Keep away from me. Keep away from me. Keep away from me. Keep away from me. Don't want to hear about your latest journey. Or where you're gonna be. Don't want to look at all your family photos, It's all too much for me. Keep away from me. Keep away from me. Keep away from me. Keep away from me. Keep away from me. Keep away from me. Keep away from me. Keep away from me. Keep away from me. Keep away from me. Keep away from me. Keep away from me. |

With your innocent eyes
You’ve been telling me lies You’ve been making a fool of me If it’s all a disguise I’ve been living a fantasy You’re lying with your innocent eyes This situation I can do without So don’t trouble yourself to call, I just found you out While your lying eyes are saying You wanted only me Your heart is with another And you’re saying what you think I’ll believe With your innocent eyes You’ve been telling me lies You’ve been making a fool of me If it’s all a disguise I’ve been living a fantasy You’re lying with your innocent eyes How did I ever believe you It was no surprise Ah, just one look and I fell For your innocent eyes You’re lying with your innocent eyes You’ve telling me lies You’ve been making a fool of me You You |

They say the mountain is high
And you’ll never move it. Ah, but before I believe that, They’ll just have to prove it. I have a hammer in my hand, And faith in my heart. I’ve already waited too long, And I’m ready to start. Chippin’ away, little by little, day by day. Chippin’ away, and the walls will come tumbling down. Oh what a wonderful sound. There is a wall around the church, And a wall around the prison. I think the wall around your heart, baby Is blocking out your vision. So put a hammer in your hand, And faith in your heart. You’ve already waited too long Aren’t you ready to start. Chippin’ away, little by little, day by day. Chippin’ away, and the walls will come tumbling down, Oh what a wonderful sound. |

Saw it in the summertime.
It was grey and dirty. Concrete and barbed wire, cutting through the city. Break on through to the other side, Was written in graffiti. The wall was long and it was high. Isn't it a pity that you and I, Learned to cry before we learned to crawl. We've only just come far enough to fall. And all the world is watching over the wall. Mines and machine guns, Try to keep the people down. Passport policemen, Try to keep the others in. How long can this go on? Keeping everyone apart, Tear all the fences down, Tear down the wall around your heart. It's up to everyone. So start, it really can be done. Take part, The battle can be won over the wall. Over the wall. Over the wall. How bad has it got to be, If they wanna get over here. How good has it got to be. If they have to keep 'em there. Let everybody go. Stop feeding all the fears. Let everybody know. There's got to be some way out of here. Over the wall. Over the wall. Over the wall. Over the wall. |

Empty eyes meet mine in the moonlight.
You're thinking that it's all true. I wanna talk but I can't get the words right. I can tell that it's killing you. But I don't know what we're gonna do. So don't, don't listen to the rumours. Now who's been talking to you anyway. Don't listen to the rumours. You don't wanna know what they're saying. Silk stockings and a call from a stranger, I know that it don't seem right. I'm not gonna say that I've been an angel. Just get you through the night. But I think it's time we got things right. So don listen to the rumours. Now who's been talking to you anyway (he's been fooling you) Don't listen to the rumours, You don't wanna know what they're saying. What's all this talk about truth and devotion, Is there anything you're sorry for. I think it's time we got it out in the open, If it's just a thing you can't ignore. 'Cause you're the only thing I'm living for. So don't, don't listen to the rumours. Now who's been talking to you anyway (he's been fooling you) Don't listen to the rumours, You don't wanna know what they're saying Don't listen to the rumours. (you poor girl, it's time you found out) Now who's been talking to you anyway. Don't listen to the rumours. (I saw him last night.) You don't wanna know what they're saying. Don't listen to the rumours. (don't you know what he's been doing.) Don't listen to the rumours. (he's been fooling you.) Don't listen to the rumours. (you poor girl, it's time you found out) Don't listen to the rumours. (I saw him last night.) |

In the morning light I once told you
I will love you all of my life, Then I noticed that you were asleep, But I told you anyway. You were lying warm and tender, Looking lovely in the light, Then I started to think of what you mean to me And I kissed you. You can really open sad eyes, Just like they say you can. You can really open my mind, To see the better man I am No more looking through sad eyes. And when the morning came, you looked up to me. You took away my pain When you told me what could be. So goodbye sad eyes. You can really open sad eyes, Just like they say you can You Have really opened my mind, To see the better man I am No more looking through sad eyes. Sad eyes, Sad eyes, Sad eyes, Sad eyes. |

Where was I yesterday?
Have I been there once before. And who was I yesterday? Don’t wanna be him no more. It’s a newday (whoa, whoa, etc.) It’s a newday. Where will I be tomorrow? I hope I’ve never been there. And who will I be tomorrow? I really hope I’m still here. It’s a newday It’s a newday It’s a newday It’s a newday I’m gonna look for the light. You’re all I need to make it right. I’m gonna look for the light. (whoa, whoa, etc.) |

Here in this room of glass and steel
With the TV and the tube I'm watching with my eyes Things are getting spacier quelle surprise From the bar the circus calls Check the smile and crawl the halls it all comes back to me With the life of a rock and roll refugee And it's hard, yes it's hard to understand just where you've gone And I know that coming down can't be much fun any more And I hope you find the strength to carry on When will we ever learn It's all too much it's such a burn when it all goes up in flames The trick is trying to balance all the pleasure and the pains And it's hard, yes it's hard to understand just where you've gone And I know that coming down can't be much fun any more Still I hope you find the strength to carry on In this world of flesh and bone Check the girl and wander home alone it's all the same I'm sick and tired and tired and sick of playing all these games And it's hard, so hard Glass and steel, glass and steel Glass and steel |

I got a family. I got a country. I want a future. I got a bomb. You got a bomb. We got a bomb. They got a bomb. But I got a wife. I got a family. I got a country. I want a future. But I got a wife. I got a family. I got a country. I want a future. But I got a wife. I got a family. I got a country. I want a future. |
