Greg Lake — Someone

[Verse 1] 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 where we kissed No consoling You're controlling Every beat that I missed 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 [Verse 2] Someone's got a lover And someone's got a gun Someone's having nightmares While others have fun Someone's in thе basement Sitting in the dark Feeling somе resentment Shooting at the park [Verse 3] Someone's needing money Trying hard to please Failing to be funny On his hands and his knees Someone's on the meattrack 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 [Sax Solo] [Verse 4] Dark eyes flashing Young girls laughing Fill my night with dreams Every action Has attraction But never what it seems [Verse 5] Eating my heart out Acting a part out Sleeping outside your door Wanting to touch you Wanting so much to Lie by your side once more [Verse 6] 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 flight Sleeping in the back room Naked on the bed Dreaming of a bridegroom But morning comes instead Someone's eyes are manic Searching for a home Children dialing panic On the telephone Shadows in the valley Rumours running rife Someone's in the alley Adding up his life
