Love is life in disguise

Hey, open up a tab, barkeep,
Pour me a glass of sweet whiskey,
And let me in return, tell you my story,
And please don't let me know,
When it's time for me to go,

Long ago a girl I did meet,
She had a white bandana wrapped 'round her head,
She was wearing a red summer dress,
She took in a puff from her cigarette,
The sweetest legs, the loveliest hands,
Her long silky brown hair blowing in the wind,
I fell hard and fast for her right there and then,
But a fool was I for I did not see,
That she could, that she would,
Rip my heart out of me,

Hey barkeep, fill me up,
And would you please tell me something,
Some words of comfort to soothe,
These heart twisting blues,
Should I keep on trying to win,
Or should I just roll over and loose,

Man, If you think it's about,
Winning or losing, you've already lost,
Love ain't a game you play,
It's the fire that burns your way,
Out of an empty cage,

Well friend, it broke me outta the cage,
But then it slipped through my fingers like the wind,
I tried to hold it for a while,
But it ran too fast and hot and wild,
And it got outta my hands,

Man, if you force it you break it,
Love ain't a thing, you can't just take it,
You can only embrace it,
Gently in your arms and try to make it,
And hope it don't ever scape ya,

Then friend, you're saying there's nothing but,
Feeling like you're blindfolded,
With no sense of direction while holding a gun,
And trying to hit a a bird,
That's trying to fly into the sun,

Man, all you can really do is wait,
There's nothing to it,
It ain't gonna be pretty,
Specially in those times when the city,
Seems to be overrun by it,

Now it's time for you to go on home,
But before you do,
I got these last words for you,

Love is a runaway bride,
Love is a getaway car,
Love is a loaded gun,
Love is a pair of sad eyes,
Love is dirty and hard like a rock,
Love is pristine, love is soft,
Love is a lie told honestly,
Love is a truth that lies like dust on the floor,

Love is life in disguise,(2X)
