He is a man forced to live with the rats But he is dying for a smile from you He is a man without a home in his life Is that a reason to walk on the line? It’s like a game – don’t mess around Don’t be a fool so just go on No life of double standard what he’s looking for Only a dream of tender delight No more a bloody fool in this dirty town So get away, take your own line Hard is the game – don’t turn around You make the rules so hold your ground He’s got a heart of gold The brain to realize he leads the better life He’s got a heart of gold So free your mind – live with a smile Heart of gold... – just like a diamond in the rough He is dying for a touch from you No more a bloody fool in this god damned town Please be strong for just one time So play this game and move the pawns It’s up to you so just go on He’s got a heart of gold The heart to free his soul, the heart to reach the goal Sweet little heart of gold So free and fine – live with a smile Live with a smile on your face, ha-ha-ha Hard is the game – don’t turn around No more a fool so just go on He’s got a heart of gold The brain to realize he leads the better life He’s got a heart of gold So free your mind – live with a smile He’s got a heart of gold The heart to free his soul, the heart to reach the goal Sweet little heart of gold So free and fine – live with a smile Just live with a smile on your face He is dying for a smile from you So just go on, go on, go on With your heart of gold Don’t turn around You make the rules so hold your ground Sweet little heart of gold
When it’s nice and easy He can handle the fear He thought he was burning With all the pain he had Then his smile was gone He didn’t know where he was Can’t you hear him cry? This time he is alive He’s out to seek and find To find his own style in time No more retreat but fight So be aware and watch the night, watch the night (Hello world, here I am) (Don’t you fool me again) (I’m like a blitz of lightning) (So get outta my way) (Every night and day) (The lightning strikes again) Then he came to the point He could believe in his life A different soul was born He must no more deny But he wants to forget His old rotten desires No more pain, no more cries All those things are behind He’s out to seek and find To find his own style in time No more retreat but fight So be aware and watch the night, watch the night (Hello world, here I am) (Don’t you fool me again) (I’m like a blitz of lightning) (So get outta my way) (Every night and day) (The lightning strikes again) (Hello world, here I am) (Don’t fool me, oh no) (I’m like a rolling thunder) (The story’s been told) (And my blood runs cold) (It won’t be all the same) It will never be the same again (Hello world, here I am) (Don’t you fool me again) (I’m like a blitz of lightning) (So get outta my way) (Every night and day) (The lightning strikes again) (Hello world, here I am) (Don’t fool me, oh no) (I’m like a rolling thunder) (Now the die is cast) (Chances are vast) (It won’t be all the same) (Hello world, here I am) (Don’t you fool me again) (I’m like a blitz of lightning) (The story’s been told) (And my blood runs cold) (It won’t be all the same)

You know you’ve seen them before And now they’re turning Into the deepest nights Shadows on the wall – don’t surrender at all You’re not alone this time (Do or die – you’ll always be on the run) Like a soldier in time – rain or shine (Aces high – you’d better be on the ball) Don’t move outta the way – stand for what you’ve gotta say We’re living on a frontline Always trying not to go We’re living on a frontline It’s much more than enough this time We’re living on a frontline Now you start searching for a better life Better not look back – go straight ahead Just be yourself all the time (Do or die – you’ll always be on the run) Like a soldier in time – rain or shine (Aces high – you’d better be on the ball) Don’t move outta the way – stand for what you’ve gotta say We’re living on a frontline Always trying not to go We’re living on a frontline It’s much more than enough this time We’re living, living on a frontline Always trying not to go We’re living on a frontline It’s much, it’s much too much this time Go ahead this time Ah, we’re living on a frontline Ah, it’s a bad game I’ve told you before So stay away from the frontline And your friends next door You say you’re lonely But I don’t want them no more But one day you’re gonna see They’re gonna disappear We’re living on a frontline Always trying not to go We’re living on a frontline It’s much more than enough this time We’re living, living on the frontline Always trying not to go We’re living on a frontline It’s much, it’s much too much this time On a frontline

My thoughts are going back, back to the time When I was young to live a life A life of lies, full of lies Then you came into my life And you’ve changed so many things That I’ve done before, that I’ve done before Without you I’ve been so alone Don’t leave me this way Without you I’ve been so alone Don’t leave me this way You treated me the right way You always said “don’t give up” Some day you will see what I have done And when I start thinking about me Then I find out You did it right, just right Without you I’ve been so alone Don’t leave me this way Without you I’ve been so alone Don’t leave me this way Unspoken words, so many unspoken words They cannot lie to me anymore Unspoken words, words so full of meaning They cannot lie, they’re from inside Unspoken words Back to start again, we’re working still together More than ever, better than before Better than before Without you I’ve been so alone Don’t leave me this way Without you I’ve been so alone Don’t leave me this way Don’t leave me this way! Unspoken words, so many unspoken words They cannot lie to me anymore Unspoken words, words so full of meaning They cannot lie, they’re from inside All those unspoken words (unspoken words) So many, many unspoken words (so full of meaning) They cannot lie to me anymore, oh yeah (Unspoken words) without you I’ve been so alone (Unspoken words) don’t leave me this way... (Unspoken words)
