"TO THE WALL"   ALBUM LYRICS
to the wall:
somewhere the lovers are going insane
their hearts are down and out in the rain
they want to feel like somebody new
find a good one to say I do


I got the cards I`m ready to deal
black jack or the spinning wheel
jump up and ride we may win
to try ain`t no sin

       going all the way to the wall
       going all the way to the wall
       going all the way to the wall

The first lover I ever had
was too young and too sad
so I took a chance on a second prize
but that was covered in lust and lies

then I ran into her
she picked me up and out of the dirt
then she said to my suprise
this is us and this is our lives

       chorus

too many fools dreaming that dream
come crashing in with a head of steam
I got a map I got a mew plan
tonight I`m doing the best I can


     chorus


  
   

          uncover my heart  
  I seek the knowledge I need to know
   where does it come from where will it go
   I`ve been inside you I`ve been in your head
   but I never heard a word you said

   stretch out your hand just let it go
   whisper your words to me soft and slow
   maybe tomorrow but not tonight
   maybe I will when the time is right

   I want to give I want to take
   have my own before they send me away
   so tell me a lie what I want to hear
   uncover my heart come in loud and clear

          uncover my heart
          uncover my heart
          uncover my heart
          uncover my heart

   down in the valley shelter below
   my bones are weary and my wheels are slow
   so  out on the ocean or across the sea
   uncover my heart and set me free

          chorus
