Someone Songtext
von Greg Lake

Neon lights glare as your eyes stare
Deep into the night
You so gently turn and leave me
Melting in the night
Phantom faces, fake embraces
Floating when we kiss
No consoling, you′re controlling
Every beat that I miss
Feeling your hunger, ringing your number
Listening to your voice
I'm drunk and I′m calling, tripping and falling
Wishing I had a choice
Someone's got a lover, someone's got a gun
Someone′s having nightmares while others have fun
Someone′s in the basement, sitting in the dark
Feeling some resentment and shooting at the park
Someone's needing money, trying hard to please
Failing to be funny on his hands and his knees
Someone′s on the beat back looking far too young
Running from a police trap feeling highly strung


Need a friend here, there's no help near
I′m giving up the ghost
I never could see why you left me
When I needed you most
Dark eyes flashing, young girls laughing
Fill my night with dreams
Every action has attraction
But never what it seems
Eating my heart out, acting the part out
Sleeping outside your door
Wanting to touch you, wanting so much to
Lie by your side once more
Someone's on a knife edge, spinning heads and tails
Living on a high ledge, hanging by his nails
Someone′s on the rooftop, trying hard to jump
Really needs a long drop so his heart can pump
Someone's taking tablets to see them through the night
Someone's got a suntan from an endless fight
Sleeping in the bathroom, naked on the bed
Dreaming of a bright moon but morning comes instead
Someone′s eyes look manic, searching for a home
Children dial in panic on the telephone
Shadows in the valley, rumours running rife
Someone′s in the alley, out in a peace life
