Survivor : Caught in the Game

Lyrics

1. CAUGHT IN THE GAME

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

Caught in the game,
Caught in the game again
Caught in the game,
Caught in the game

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


2. JACKIE DON'T GO

Jackie was the focus of my fantasies
There was passion in the schoolyard
Upon the autumn leaves

Cuttin' class was gettin' easy
Throwin' good sense down the drain
While your touch would always please me
It was love that eased the pain

Believin' that good times forever last
And love is a thing of the past

Jackie no, Jackie don't go
You're a hard act to follow
Jackie go slow, Jackie please
I'm down on my knees, let's do it again

I was head over heels, I was hard in love
I put Jackie on a pedestal so high above

Rock 'n roll became our savior
That alone was all it took
When it came to fool behavior
Me and Jackie, we wrote the book

Believin' that good friends forever last
Now, love is a thing of the past

Jackie no, Jackie don't go
You're a hard act to follow
Jackie go slow, Jackie please
I'm down on my knees, let's do it again

Jackie stay, I'm livin' each day
In the streets of the city
Callin' your name, Jackie please
This is insane, let's do it again

In the beginning, all the time we spent together
Never further than a heartbeat away
Did you try and tell me, Jackie, you were leavin'?
I couldn't see beyond yesterday

Jackie, Jackie don't go, Jackie

Jackie no, Jackie don't go
You're a hard act to follow
Jackie go slow, Jackie please
I'm down on my knees, let's do it again

Jackie stay, I'm livin' each day
In the streets of the city
Callin' your name, Jackie please
This is insane, let's do it again

Jackie no, Jackie don't go
You're a hard act to follow
Jackie go slow, Jackie please
I'm down on my knees, let's do it again


3. I NEVER STOPPED LOVING YOU

From a distance I can see
The picture looks so clear to me
It's a vantage point so few can hope to find
And patience held the key
Our love, our only guarantee
Our destiny to make it through the night

Through the tears and through the pain
This house was built to stand the strain
Though harder times, I surely can't recall
And crazy as it seems
Though all we had were crazy dreams
Those hungry years I'll miss the most of all

Now at last, we fall together
We've been through it all together
Ooh, I never stopped lovin' you
When the money was short and dreams were shattered
Faith in love was all that pulled us
Through, I never stopped lovin' you

I've stumbled on the way
So many nights love went astray
At different times we each played separate fools
But love became our pride
When once we'd seen the other side
Every highway led me back to you

Through the wind and through the rain
This house was built to stand the strain
Though harder times, I surely can't recall

Now at last, we fall together
We've been through it all together
Ooh, I never stopped lovin' you
When the money was short and dreams were shattered
Faith in love was all that pulled us
Through, I never stopped lovin' you

From a distance I can see
The picture looks so clear to me
A vantage point that only love can find


4. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY

Sometimes alone at night I lie and wonder
Was breaking up the only thing to do
We live our separate lives like perfect strangers,
But in the end, we're really perfect fools
Maybe in time we'll shake the memories,
Maybe in time forget the pain
But baby tonight, this heart remembers

It doesn't have to be this way (x2)
We don't need to live the lie anymore
I want you back, I'm holding on
It doesn't have to be this way
Here we stand
Love's an open door,
It doesn't have to be this way (x2)

With breakin' up there comes this empty feelin'
The child within you, lost without a prayer
So you run a little wild searching for some meaning
Deep into the streets of your despair
What does it take to shake your memory
What in the world could ease the pain
How can I make your heart surrender


5. READY FOR THE REAL THING

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 (x2)
I'm ready for the real thing,
Last time
I couldn't be true,
This time
I'm ready for the real thing too (x2)

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 with I had gone through those changes
Years before we met
And baby

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


6. HALF-LIFE

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 breakin' away

I'm livin' a half-life
No point of dimension
Trying to find my way
Do I search in the dark

You and I, we're 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

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, we're livin' a half-life
Beyond our pretension
We're much the same
We search for the spark

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

I'm livin' a half-life
No point of dimension
Trying to find my way
Do I search in the dark

You and I, we're livin' a half-life
Beyond our pretension
We're much the same
We search for the spark

Am I livin' a half-life
No point of dimension
Trying to find my way
Do I search in the dark


7. WHAT DO YOU REALLY THINK

Do you love me? Tell me if it's true
Does that look of love reflect the real you?
Why does passion disappear when we're apart
Are you secretly breaking my heart?

What do you really think?
What do you really think of me?
What do you really think?
What do you really think 'bout me?

We were dreamers, rebels in our youth
Did our fantasies, obscure the bitter truth
Why do you turn your head when those boys walk by?
Try looking me straight in the eye

What do you really think?
What do you really think of me?
What do you really think?
What do you really think 'bout me?
About me, I gotta know

Ooh, can I reach you, is it worth the climb?
Let me teach you what's the bottom line
Shall we try again some other place and time, in time?

Must every passing day be so tough, girl
Are you secretly breaking us up, girl
I wanna know, I gotta know for sure, I wanna know

Do you love me? Tell me if it's true
Does that look of love reflect your point of view?
Why does passion disappear when we're apart?
Are you secretly breaking my heart?

What do you really think?
What do you really think of me?
What do you really think?
What do you really think about me?

What do you really think?
What do you really think of me?
What do you really think?
What do you really think about me?
About me, I gotta know, about me
What do you think about me?


8. SLANDER

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


9. SANTA ANA WINDS

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
Flames cuttin' hard through the homeland
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
