Human Game
I saw your face on the TV show
Your eyes don't look quite the same
The years they took a toll on you
It's hard road to fame
You crossed your T's and dotted your I's
Made all the classes and kept your dress size
Looked in the mirror when you realized
You didn't count on the blows
It's easier now to count the change
It's easier now to feel the shame
It's easier now to take some blame
That's how you play this Human Game
I saw your face on the TV show
Your eyes they gave you away
This city life that you love so well
It's a big price to pay
Crossed your T's and dotted your I's
Made banker friends with political ties
Looked down the barrel when you realized
Love escaped you again
It's easier now to count the change
It's easier now to feel the shame
It's easier now to take some blame
That's how you play this Human Game
It's easier now to touch the flame
It's easier now that the lions tame
I left some direction
Hope they explain
That's how you play this Human Game
It's easier now to stop a train
It's easier now not to complain
It's easier now to walk in the rain
That's how you play this Human Game

I met you standin' by the school
You smiled and I fell like a fool,
It wasn't really true, but God, I missed you.
Sometimes
"Honey, You Don't Know...
(What You Let Go)...
Well, I've been down on my knees,
Begging you please...
Open Highway
She packed her suitcase
and she opened up the door;
She walked right through it
like a hundred times before;
Verse#1
Wish I could be there with you,
Where ever you may be,
Sit and talk like old times,
Underneath the shade of our
