CRUEL

What you´ve got, you had to steal
That´s the reason for how you feel
Considerin´ what you´ve done so far
I´m rather amazed at where you are

Lift your head up, baby
Pull yourself together
Nothing´s worse than dying slow
There´s no reason, darlin´
Reason whatsoever
That we can´t end this game of touch and go

It´s such a cruel world
When you have to think twice
And you´re caught up in this roundabout
It´s such a cruel world
When your back´s against the wall
And there´s no way out

You´re not giving it up, but you´re giving it out
Seems too me you got a little too much doubt
Augmentation is what you need
Your generosity looks alot like greed

You might call me crazy
If you don´t understand it
There´s no way for you to know
You say love is hazy
And you don´t demand it
But can´t we end this game of touch and go

It´s such a cruel world
When nothin´ goes right
And the plans you made
Start falling ´round you
It´s such a cruel world
Well, just throw me the rope, baby
And pull me out

You´ve got that kind of love
It flows like a fountain
But sometimes love can be unkind
My kind of love, you know
It´s higher than a mountain
But love can be so hard to find

INSTRUMENTAL

Lift your head up, baby
Pull yourself together
Nothing´s worse than dying slow
There´s no reason, darlin´, reason whatsoever
That we can´t end this game of touch and go

It´s such a cruel world
When you have to think twice
And you´re caught up in this roundabout
It´s such a cruel world
When your back´s against the wall
And there´s no way out

It´s such a cruel world
It´s such a cruel world out there baby
It´s such a cruel world
It´s such a cruel cruel world and there´s no way out

Get you right
Wanna get you right

Oh I
I see darkness in your future baby
Oh I
In a tunnel black as night
Oh I
See a rich man with his hand out baby
Oh I
Know a seer with no sight
Oh I
Watch fire burn those bridges baby
Oh I
Feel a wrong turn into right
Oh I
Yeah...
