I Can't Win

Standing on the shore, watching waves roll in
Wondering if I'll ever win, this game

Just passing time, on another day
Sometimes I feel, I just can't stay —straight
I can't win, I can't win
I just can't win this game
I can't win, I can't win
I'd just like, to win one day
'Cause I can't win, I can't win
Oh! I can't win when the walls are closing in —on me

I may have sinned
But still I don't know why
I can't win one day

I may have sinned
Oh! I can't win
Still I don't know why, I ain't giving in
'Cause I can't win
I never win
I can't win, I can't win
I will win

We're On Fire

The Boys will rock-n-roll tonight
Just looking for a good time
Ain't nothing else on their minds
'Cause we're heading on some hard times
We got nothing on the straight line
So we're gonna do it out of time

Oh! Take off with a shotglass
We're gonna have some "Uncle Jack"
Vodka comes the next time
After that we're doing fine

We ain't no reasons why
All we've got is lots of time
So don't hassle us now
We'll tear you down
'Cause we're wild and wired
We're all on fire

Smoke in the air, really turned us on
Now we're just rying to ha-a-a-ang on —to life
We're alive, we're wired
Burn inside, can't see the fire
But still I know anything goes…
'Cause we're on fire!

Edged Out Mind

I've been standing in the rain
I've been to the edge of time
Waiting for sun, so I can really shine
I know there's something coming
I've known it for quite a time
Even though I don't, I still don't know why

I've seen it before
I've seen it come alive
I've seen it at the beginning of time

I'm standing on
Standing on the edge of time
I'm looking in
Looking in from an edged out mind

My body is crying
My mind is dying
And I know the reasons why
It's been distorted, and twisted
It's been torn our of line
It's looking out on an edged out mind

I'm hyperactive
I'm so spuratic
I'm spastically out of control

Thinking

Sitting in the park, watching clouds roll by
Not doing nothing, just passing the time

I'm just thinking, thinking about you
I can't stop thinking, I could pass the time with you

Waiting for sunshine of the summertime
I'd like to touch you, if you don't mind

'cause I've been thinking, thinking of you

I hope you don't think, that I'm a toy
Sometimes I'm nothing, but a little boy
(I'm thinking, I'm thinking, Ithinking about you boy!)

'cause I've been thinking, thinking a little more
I just can't stop thinking…
Sometimes my job becomes a chore
All my life — It was such a bore

I'm thinking, thinking about you

Nightlife In Cairo

What do you say, we'll hop on a plane
Take me to Cairo tonight
We'll go to a store, buy some supplies
Get on a camel, go through the desert
Going to Cairo tonight, tonight, tonight…

We'll blaze in the sand
To far away lands
Living in pyramids, beneath the sands

We can make lots of friends
Out of everyone
Check out the scenes
Of Nightlife in Cairo!

Look at the sheik
He thinks he's real neat
Give him surprise
He's shit out of time
In the night, Cairo does scream

Give me some life
Roll in the sand
Nightlife in Cairo, living a dream
Nightlife in Cairo, It's a scream
