One more wasted night

It's only the pinball-machines
that are winking at you
and yes there's also the whores
but that's not what you want to do
so go and paw them cobblestones
of these late night streets
yes, plenty of offers there
but nobody to really meet


         and ooh your eyes don't talk
         and ooh your feet just walk
         past the windows
         into the shadows
         of one more wasted night
         and it just ain't right
         no it just ain't right

Are you somehow frightened now
you've lost your lover
full of doubts and wishing
are you still thinking of her ?
yes it's quite hard closing books
after so many years in thrall
to fantasy and compromise
you better make sure you don't fall
