My shoes are heavy My feet are winding down I look for her in comers But she's not around What I eat is eating me It hits me hard I'm one jack short of a royal flush A stranger holds the card Here come the salvation in the shape of my guitar And I'm gonna ride it like a shooting star I don't want your money I don't want your soul I don't need a reason I just want to get right down and lick it up Mother Mercy told me A picture never lies She told me no self respecting hero Ever cries The prisoner walks in circles The victim walks alone Scissors cut the paper The paper wraps the stone Standing at the entrance to the gates of paradise The lights go down the heat goes up that's when I cry I don't want your money I don't want your soul I don't a reason I just want to get right down and lick it up I put my faith in fortune reaching for the sky The only game in town that gets me high I don't want your money I just want to get right down and lick it up I don't want your soul I just want to get right down and lick it up I don't need a reason I just want to get right down and lick it up

I'm so far away From everything you know Your name is carried on the wind Your ice blue waters Anya Where do they flow Where have they been Where have they been A hidden passion Touching a spark Flame of revolution Burning wild in your gypsy heart Your gypsy heart Anya - The spirit of freedom Anya - Oh Anya The light of freedom buried Deep within your soul Across the puszta plain to see The rhapsody of angels Refuse to dance alone What do they mean What do they mean Your jewel flashing Across the dark Forbidding distance I love your gypsy heart Your gypsy heart Anya

Consider your position position your defense Why don't you let me ask you is it mere coincidence Feeding speculators on a downhill gravy train Like vultures ripping out the eyes to reach the dying brain Listen to the wind - a silent scream Tearing at your broken heart Like a forgotten dream And there's a time for peace a time for war Wondering what we've been put here for A time for giving a time to take A time for love and a time for hate A time for beg and a time to steal So you gamble on that spinning wheel Of all these things I've had my fill Lord I need some time to kill Ten percent of nothing is exactly what you got You thing you've got the given right to take another shot I'll take away your money all you've got is coloured beads Find a piece of land where you can sow your seeds Listen to the wind - a silent scream Tearing at your broken heart Like a forgotten dream There's a time for passion a time for pain A time to learn that we're all the same A time to remember a time to forget Wondering how we're going to pay our debts A time for thunder a time for rain Waiting for the seasons to change Of all these things I've had my fill Lord I need some time to kill

My clothes don't fit and I have no point of view I got a bad reputation but I don't believe it's true I had something going but I blew it down the can Not exactly what I planned I'm a ramshackle man That's what I am I look like a joker but I feel like a one eyed jack Shuffling around never get to the top of the park I said to the dealer put the ace in my hand But he couldn't give a damn I'm a ramshackle man That's what I am I sit down thinking bout the things I have to do I start out fine then I pick up something new Stumbled through the door that's how it all began Now it's buried in the sand I'm a ramshackle man That's what I am The stars shine bright when the boys come out to play Never feeling more than I'm feeling right here today I used to be fresh but now I'm second hand I do what I can I'm a ramshackle man That's what I am

As you watch from your house on the hill World keeps spinning around you you're standing still And a thought rivers enters your mind Something happened once in my life A fading picture of you that's so hard to describe I've been where the sun never shines That's alright there's a change in the story That's alright there's a change in the plan A twist in the tale Face in the mirror head in the clouds Hanging on to a dream that you can't do without As it drops like a stone without trace Give what you want take what you need Squeezing so hard there's no room to breathe And your flavour has fallen from grace That's alright there's a change in the story That's alright there's a change in the plan A twist in the tale I saw you dancing Dancing on air You were lost in the in the starlight No one but me really cared Every question turns out a lie Can't you swallow the truth for once in your life I loved you but don't ask me why It's alright there's a change in the story It's alright there's a change in the plan A twist in the tale
