In smoke filled bars
there's the sound of guitars;
and faces with battle scars
empty as the glasses they stare into,
Tell me where will tonighe take you?
There's no colour today
seem to be caught in the gray;
looking for the familiar
but I'm loosing my way.
Lips mime to the music
but thoughts are miles away,
Wondering if there are winners
in these mind-games we play.
Nightpeople:
Heartbeat of the city
calling through the haze
Nightpeople:
across crowded rooms we gaze.
Hypnotic wall of music out of phase
Got to believe in better days.
The time for a change must be coming around
Sick of life's tragedies tearing me down;
Masquerading with confidence
betrayed by the frown.
Caught in a trap that you set for yourself,
Chasing your tail is no good for your health
and what will you do if you catch it?
(-Keith Newman (C) //Oct 85': on the Tony Littlejohn album Heartwarrior.)
