Playing your cards right, keeping your cool.
Pushing it all night, nobody's fool.
Can you feel the table turning...
And if you don't want me, why don't you say?
I can't live with this feeling of love slipping away,
Can you feel the table turning?
Can you feel the scene begin to change...
Oh Angeline, did you hear me singing,
Singing for love in the heat of the night.
Oh Angeline, did you hear me singing
And crying your name in the hot spotlight.
You couldn't change it if you tried;
Sometimes it seems, oh darling,
It seems that you were born to cry.
You've been trying for so long,
But your sweet sweet love keeps going wrong.
Watch out; watch...
Watch out...
They got frozen faces,
They live in broken rooms.
They got the strangest of places
In the dark and the gloom.
Song by The Boothill Foot-Tappers
Included on Ain't That Far From Boothill (Mercury MERH 76)
John plays guitars on this track
No mystery, no surprise
No hidden meaning in my eyes
You've seen it all, you've heard it all
I either stand or I fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
Rope-souled, walking away.
Tie or tightened, bind your feet.
Rope-souled, walking away.
Rope-souled;
Tie or tightened, bind your feet.
Get it right and make it feel.
She said she's coming in on the high tide.
She's a healer, she can see,
She's the sunrise.
You know she left when I was a baby,
But she never let me down.
She's coming back to take me away.
She's coming in on time...
Everyone I talk to says to watch you go and sings you praises.
With all those eggs in just one basket, you've been honey for the asking.
All the company you keep;
All those dreams and little sleep, I love to watch you
You sit in your room, pretending to cry.
You seem so unwilling to try.
I say what you're selling is just a lie,
And I know that your price is far too high.
The rain came down,
I heard the sound of yesterday's tv.
Rain came down,
Burning down the highway.
Rain keeps falling;
Raindrops keep on fooling me.
Rain keeps falling,
Raindrops keep on getting in my eyes.
