As time goes by Moonlight and love songs Never out of date Hearts full of passion Jealousy and hate Woman needs man That no one can deny It's still the same old story A fight for love and glory

Consider that bastard dead Don't you try to rape me Out go the lights In goes my Knife Pull out his life Get on your knees Please beg me please You're the king of sleaze

Where my sorrow goes, there I'll be Water runs up through my door And washed me clean of my childhood Dirt on the floor, a reminder Well I can't tell you I'm not at all afraid Crossing that river again on a boat Takes in more than it floats on above And

As the light goes out Thoughts turn to angels As the night comes in Dreams start their drifting Days feel hard earned Night grows longer

You'll just let her go The lights go out The show goes on She leaves town If you know what's good for you Or you'll end up next to me in her sideshow She's a big top ten with bright spotlights That woman sure knows how to shine You almost can't believe

Rip the roof up off of here, take it to the stratosphere Bring the house down Breathe in, out When the lights come on, when the crowd goes wild Stand up and scream it loud when the fire flies There’s a world passed the curtains of eager excitement A sea

At the speed of love Nothing changes faster Than the speed of love Like a force of nature, My heart goes out to you Love is born with lightning bolts Electro-magnetic force Burning skin and fireworks A storm on a raging course

Gotta leave my candlelight burning If it goes out, I will lose it Burn, burn, burn, burn And I've been getting tired of these letters I see you writing on the walls And I've been walking though my own disaster Thinking it's time to move on I don't wanna

Rising from ruins We're standing as one We're carrying on Out from the nights We're bringing the lights Drawn from years of self denying Lost in chaos before the storm Our strength goes on prepared for mortal battle We can saddle our old scores

I've been thinking about the West Coast Not the one that everyone knows For a summer of love A summer of love We're sick of living in the shadows We've one more chance before the light goes Doesn't want you It haunts you
