[Jerry Harrison, Dan Wexler, Tracy Wallach, Pat Dixon] I never thought it could feel this good to me. I never thought I could live out a fantasy. Now you've had me and passed me by. I should have seen it but I was blind. Right between the eyes, like a shot through my heart A knife from behind Right between the eyes I gave my all and you kept wanting more When push came to shove. then you walked right out my door All those feelings were wasted time Should have seen it but I was blind Right between the eyes Like a shot through my heart A knife from behind Right between the eyes Right between the eyes You can tear me apart You can leave me behind Right between the eyes (Guitar solo) I waited, waited for you only to find you were untrue I wasted, wasted my time I took you in, you left me behind Right between the eyes Like a shot through the heart A knife from behind Right between the eyes

[Dan Wexler, Jerry Harrison, Tracy Wallach, Pat Dixon] He was born in New York On a subway train Raised up in poverty (Hell) Don't even have a name He looks up while he's singing for a quarter At the girl in a limousine Reaching out just to touch her She looks down laughing at him Waiting waiting every morning Hoping things are going to change He can hear her say All that I've got, all that you're not You're a far cry from love All that I see, always you'll be Such a far cry from love Rich man makes him an offer Perfect to a poor boys dream You want the girl, you want the power Here's a way to be just like me Sell this crack from off the corner Fate is waiting here for you, then he says All that I've got, all that you're not You're a far cry from love All that I see, always you'll be Such a far cry from love Open your eyes don't you realize you're a far cry from love So impressed with the name you're making See the neon shine, Now she's shooting up the love she's faking Don't you know it's not to late to change your life All that you've got, maybe you're not Such a far cry from love All that you've seen, never you'll be Such a far cry from love Take your best shot, know that you're not Take it from me baby I've been Such a far cry from love

[Dan Wexler, Jerry Harrison, Tracy Wallach, Pat Dixon] Is it black against white Or brother versus brother Is it wrong against right Or color versus color You can see it in the night Feel it in the morning Is it worth the fight You better take my warning Cause you can't stop what you can't control You can lose another life and take another soul It's a holy mans war It's a fight for survival Trying to live day by day It's a holy mans war And rival versus rival You can take it from me With the things that I've seen It's a holy mans war If I see you walking on my part of town Better bring your army we're gonna bring you down We've got no reason for the things that we do When you're born with nothing then you've nothing to lose Cause you can't stop what you can't control You can lose another life and take another soul It's a holy mans war It's a fight for survival Trying to live day by day It's a holy mans war And rival versus rival You can take it from me With the things that I've seen It's a holy mans war There was a time when life meant so much to me The longer I live the less that I want to see That's not the way it should be (Guitar Solo) It's a holy mans war It's a fight for survival Trying to live day by day It's a holy mans war And rival versus rival You can take it from me With the things that I've seen It's a holy mans war

[Jerry Harrison, Dan Wexler, Tracy Wallach, Pat Dixon] Suzie was a show girl Dancing on the west side of town I swear I wouldn't know her Cause she never let her hair hang down Can't say what I was feeling But it didn't feel right Like seeing sweet little sister on a saturday night She'd start to move and then I'd start to ignite I'll tell you boys then she really blew my mind when she said.... Let me show you what I'm made of And I swear she's like a dream sent from up above I live a double life You'd better think twice, so she said I live a double life Boy you're in over your head You can take her You can leave her But you never can believe her, oh no I met her at the bookstore She wouldn't even talk to me I said girl I'll teach you more Than you ever felt before In any of those books you read Let me show you what I'm made of I swear I'll be your dream sent from up above I live a double life You'd better think twice, so she said I live a double life Boy you're in over your head She's cookin'They're lookin She's working overtime She's layin' They're payin' I've got her on my mind I've got the money if you say you've got the time She said, hey boy, I think you've never made a dime, so she said (Guitar Solo) I live a double life You'd better think twice, so she said I live a double life Boy you're in over your head
