Chances last a finite time In the warm July night-time Every care that keeps you from your feet Is a care that carries your defeat You better let her rip tonight With a pocket full of kryptonite Every care that keeps you in your seat Is a care that carries your defeat Sing that song you sang long ago A heartbeat so sure and slow Hold me and don't let go The 14th domino 20 thousand points of light Sun by day, disco ball by night Every care that keeps you from the beat Is a care that carries your defeat Sing that song that I used to know The 14th black domino Hold me like long ago A heartbeat sure and slow Chances last a finite time In the warm July night-time Every care that keeps you from your feet Is a care that carries your defeat Chances last a finite time And you're running out of time

I finally feel at ease I'm on an eastern breeze It blows me into shore Come back to kiss my dear Come back to face my fears It can't be worse than war Unless you say that you gave your heart away (gave your heart away) Unless you say that I shouldn't have returned (shouldn't have returned) And in that case, I'll go Every night I see a shooting star I'm wondering if it's landing where you are If you can see it then you can't be far And if that's the way you do it That's the way you find your love The air is cold and thin I'm on my second wind It blows me to your door Lean into the bell and press You're in a brand new dress I've never seen before But then you say that you gave your heart away (I gave my heart away) And then you say that I shouldn't have returned (you shouldn't have returned) So I turn my face and go Every time I take a look around I find myself looking down To a place that's looking much more round I find myself looking down Every night I see a shooting star I'm wondering if it's landing where you are If you can see it then you can't be far And if that's the way you do it That's the way you find your love

I'd give my heart if you'd give your attention But when I look there's just an open trench, and baby I can't stand to see you, girl Showing off your silver party dress No, you can't come over now The house ain't neat, my room's a mess I'd give my heart to just be in contention But I sold it off at the baseball card convention I can't stand to see you, girl Rubbing motor oil on all your joints No, I ain't no straight A wiz But I could learn, that's not the point (I'll plot my points) I'd give my heart if I had one for giving I'd give my heart, your lips could keep me living I'd give my heart (I'd give my heart) and always be forgiving I'd give my heart (I'd give my heart) if I had one for giving

Of all the shooting stars I knew I never felt at ease with anyone but you Don't ever wonder where I go Remember that the grass still grows beneath the snow When everything around turns blue Just fall asleep and wake when it's all through There's battlescars on all my guitars but I still come out here and play And now I've lost your touch again I know I'm only one in 20, 000 men I promise not to let you go Just close your eyes and sleep right through the falling snow And when I finally wash ashore I'm coming back to kiss the girl I kissed before Of all the shooting stars I knew I never fell for anyone but you There's battlescars on all my guitars but I still come out here and play There's battlescars on my face and my arms but you still kiss me everyday There's battlescars on all my guitars but I still come out everyday There's battlescars on my face and my arms but you still kiss me anyway There's battlescars on all my guitars but I still come out here and play There's battlescars on my face and my arms but you still kiss me everyday There's battlescars on all my guitars but I still come out anyway There's battlescars on my face and my arms but you still kiss me anyway
