"When you?ve found your man, make sure he?s for real!"
(here?s the first guitar riff)
I?ve learned that nothing really lasts forever
(here?s the second guitar riff)
I sleep with the scars I wear that won?t heal
they won?t heal.
[chorus]
cos every time I seem to fall in love
crash! boom! bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall
crash! boom! bang!
That?s the call, that?s the game
and the pain stays the same
[Verse 2]
I?m walking down this empty road to nowhere
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew.
My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow
but I always did, and Lord, I still do
I?m still breaking the rules
I kick it up
I kick it down.
[chorus]
cos every time ...
That?s my real middle-name
It has always been the same
That?s the call, that?s the game
and the pain stays the same.
[bridge]
I still feel the heat /Slowly fallin? from the sky/
and the taste of the kissing
Shattered by rain /comin? tumblin? from behind/
and the wild holy war
C#m G#m ... (something like that)
I kick it up I kick it down
[chorus]
and every time I seem to fall in love
crash! boom! bang!
I find the roses dying on the floor
crash! boom! bang!
That?s the call, that?s the game
and the pain stays the same
That?s my real middle-name
It has always been the same...
