You swore you'd never again, let yourself be tempted,
Too many times in the past when you've opened up your heart -- You've had it broken in pieces, by too many lies, Still it's hard to acknowledge the past -- When she flashes those eyes, Over and over the song skips, Just as the final refrain fades away -- Like fools we are caught in the game *Caught in the game, Caught in the game again -- Caught in the game, Caught in the game* I swore I'd never again catch myself believin' Too many times I've been hurt -- and it makes you hard inside But when I saw you in the city tonight -- Was it just imagination -- Or did your eyes burn a little too bright, For purely conversation -- Over and over the lights flash down at the corner arcade Swept away -- Like fools we are caught in the game ( * Repeat) Over and over the song skips Just as the final refrain fades away. Like fools we are caught in the game ( * Repeat) |

Dead on my feet -- got a deadline to meet,
But it can wait -- can't concentrate -- This one-track mind won't leave you behind Why punish me with memories If only now I could turn back the pages -- I played some games that I've lived to regret, I only wish I had gone through those stages -- Years before we met -- But I know *This time -- I'm ready for the real thing, Last Time -- I couldn't be true, This time -- I'm ready for the real thing too* Turn on the light, I've been tossing all night, I try to read but it's love that I need -- In my mind -- the sound of goodbye, Keeps hauntin' me like a distant dream -- If only now I could turn back the pages -- I played some games that I've lived to regret, I only wish I had gone through those changes Years before we met -- And baby ( * Repeat) This time -- I'm ready for the real thing, Last time -- I couldn't be true, This time -- Get ready for the real thing, Cause this time baby -- I'm ready for you |

This thing we call an existence, I stand here
Trying to make some sense of it all, Each pathway offers resistance, I force a smile But it's just not from the heart, I'm wrong for the part -- And I work like a dog to get even, take my chances And go on believin', though deep in my heart I dream Of brakin' away *Are we all livin' a half-life, No point of dimension, Trying to find our way, Do we search in the dark, You and I, livin' a half-life, beyond our pretension, We're much the same We search for the spark* Behind the smoke screen around me, There beats a heart that is simple dreams that are mine -- We're only here for a moment, we try and capture the magic Somehow in time, we make it all rhyme And we work like a dog to get even, take our chances And go on believin', though deep in our hearts we dream Of breakin' the chains (* Repeat) And I work like a dog to get even, Take my chances and go on believin' Though deep in my heart I dream of breakin' away, (* Repeat) |

The word is out -- heads are talkin'
And just like a fire ragin' wild in the night, The rumors hot, the room is rockin', It's out of control, too vicious to fight Two lovers split -- a heart is shattered And out of revenge it steals through the night, Making sure the lies are scattered To every border of this town tonight The word's on the street, you call it truth, I call it slander, Times are tough, talk is cheap -- Soon they'll talk about you -- Slander The jury splits -- undecided, They're searching for clues, My live in their hands The hour has come, they stand divided, The future shall judge the good and the bad And now, there's talk on the street -- I call it slander, I will fight this somehow Revenge will be sweet Slander -- like a knife in my heart -- Slander Slander -- gonna keep us apart -- Slander Slander ? there's talk on the street Slander -- revenge will be sweet Slander -- I'm ready to fight Slander -- I will find it tonight Slander -- like a knife in my heart -- Slander Slander -- gonna keep us apart Slander Slander -- there's talk on the street -- Slander -- revenge will be sweet Slander -- too vicious to fight Slander -- wild in the night |

When the wind decides that it's time to ride,
To spread a little hell through the heartland, It takes a good long toke then it blows the smoke Through the desert night ? And the wings of fire ? Keep climbin' higher, See the flames cuttin' hard through the homeland, It takes a mighty strong will to strip the chill from the desert night -- You're wakened from your dream by a siren's scream, Trapped by the walls that surround you -- Then it's will to will, and you wonder still can you struggle free? In a thousand ways, when you turn the phrase, The wind's like a love of a woman ? It takes a mighty mean bitch -- Some fire witch -- To set the night on fire And the Santa Ana wind's gonna have its way tonight Nothing you can do's gonna change her mind ? And ain't it a lot like love the way desire takes you in ? And stokes the fire like the Santa Ana wind Now the air is calm, and the heart grows numb, The ashes burn low in the heartland, 'Til again the wind starts closin' in to set the night on fire And the Santa Ana wind's blowin' cross my heart tonight Nothing you can do's gonna change her mind -- And woman I want your love -- I need that passion deep within, Like the ragin' fire needs the Santa Ana wind And the Santa Ana wind's gonna take your life tonight Nothing you can do's gonna change her mind -- And ain't it a lot like love The way desire takes you in -- Swept away with the Santa Ana wind |
