El Dorado
04:52
|

far and wide
I keep on searching
for el dorado
on I ride
into the desert
lone desperado
same thing every night
no end in sight
where I go no one will follow
all night long
through the darkness
on I ride
all alone
got nobody
by my side
everyone I know
found a better place to go
I’ll be alone until I die
look around
see the shadows
creeping in
sun goes down
as the evening
begins again
no one knows my name
I don’t play the game
so I can’t lose and I can’t win

Night Movers
04:19
|

lately your life has taken a turn
several things have got you quite concerned
you owe a large sum of money to the mob
your wife just left and you just lost your job
so the time has come for you to go
to leave behind everything you know
but rest assured you’ve got no need to fear
there are people who can help you disappear
we move at night
keep out of sight
we’ve got all you need
to start your new life
tonight’s the night
so travel light
just leave it all to us
it’ll be alright
you can’t tell your family or your friends
most of them won’t see you again
close all your accounts and pack your things
be ready to depart when your phone rings
we move at night
keep out of sight
we’ve got all you need
to start your new life
you leave tonight
so travel light
just leave it all to us
and be on that flight

Born a Ghost
03:35
|

this world is haunted
by the spirits of the living
yet it’s you who has no place
you who has no face
you live among them
right beside, but not too close
no one sees you, no one knows
you were born a ghost
looking at the world
from a place far away
and you want them to know
that you can hear them when they talk
you live among them
right beside, but not too close
no one sees you, no one knows
you were born a ghost

The Love You Leave
02:59
|
|

when I look back on the years
I spent loving her
from the laughter to the tears
the clearest picture becomes a blur
ever since we parted I’ve had to live with my regret
the love I left behind might be all I get
you can’t return the love you take
if you refuse what you receive
‘cause in the end the love you make
can’t replace all the love you leave
the ghosts of memories
still roam this haunted heart
every time I think my race is run
I find myself back at the start
so many times I’ve tried and failed to win this game of love
if I get another chance, I’ll thank the Lord above
you can’t return the love you take
if you refuse what you receive
‘cause in the end the love you make
can’t replace all the love you leave
you can’t repair all the hearts you break
it’s a web that won’t unweave
‘cause in the end the love you make
can’t replace all the love you leave
in the end the love you make
can’t replace all the love you leave
