Nothing to show for the things that I've done

There were places to go and I had to choose this one

Well I had some dreams in My head, had some tricks up my sleeve

Now I'll be lucky to leave with my life, yes Ill be lucky to leave

Over The line and into your bed

Where desire and shame consume like a flame, and wise men might fear to tread

You closed my mouth with a touch, I said too much

Oh you tried to turn back the tide, you didn't want to know

You can find me here where the city lights burn

The stars right out of the sky

And the birds sing all night as the traffic rolls by

loosing my name like the millions who came

just to say that they were right

We'll be lucky to leave, lucky to leave with our lives

Nothing to show since it all went wrong

and nowhere to go but the streets that I'm walking on

I had changed horse in midstream, i went down like a stone

Thought Id slip off the hook, now Im battered and cooked, gutted and boned
