Let Him Go
tell it to the papers
if you gave me a match
i'd torch the place
i'd do it as a favor
you can bet that i would savor
i'm just talking trash
as i destroy the place
friendship built you up
but i will tear you down
for all that i've become
that past still hangs around
it's hard enough to bear
what seems so unfair
that a moment went and changed you
the clouds never part there
the sun never rises
it is dark all the time
i mean no surprises
i'd say it to the mayor
tell it to the paper
if you give me a match
Poison
(Alice Cooper/Dick Wagner/Desmond Child)
The city streets are wet with rain tonight
Taxi drivers swerve from lane to lane
A lonely guitar man playin' down the hall
Midnight blues comin' through the walls
I tried to call you on the telephone
I left it off the hook
Just to hear it ring
You told me you were better off alone
I never knew that tears could stain
I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars
Lookin' down at all the cars
I can see you
In the window of your favorite corner bar
But to reach you is just too far
And I might as well be on Mars
The city seems so old and grey and beat
It closes in and makes me wanna suffocate
And you just live across the street
But that's a billion miles away
You've turned my world into a dark and lonely place
Like a planet lost in space, my light is fadin'
I'd cross the universe to be right where you are
But I'm right in your backyard
And I might as well be on Mars
CHORUS
I might as well be on Mars
You can't see me
I might as well be the Man on the Moon
You can't hear me
Oh, can you feel me so close
And yet so far
Baby, I might as well be on Mars
Baby, I can't fly
If I could I'd come down to ya
Maybe I should try
I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars
Lookin' down at all lthe cars
I can see you
In the window of your favorite corner bar
But to reach is just too far
And I might as well be on Mars
CHORUS
