call a spade a spade
don't call me your lover
it doesn't mean a thing
when we get it on

call a spade a spade
don't call me your lover
when you come too late
you will find me gone

call a spade a spade
don't call me your lover
if you need a friend
I am not the one

you had better open your eyes and
call a spade a spade

Baby, we just have our fun, don't we
just don't overplay your hand, you see
you aren't helping things if you press me
I just need space and time to feel free

call a spade a spade
don't call me your lover
it doesn't mean a thing
when we get it on

call a spade a spade
don't call me your lover
when you come too late
you will find me gone

call a spade a spade
don't call me your lover
if you need a friend
I am not the one

you had better open your eyes and
call a spade a spade

maybe you hope for things I can't give
all your appeals will prove abortive
why can't you be some more supportive
let's just enjoy our lust while we live

call a spade a spade
don't call me your lover
it doesn't mean a thing
when we get it on

call a spade a spade
don't call me your lover
when you come too late
you will find me gone

call a spade a spade
don't call me your lover
if you need a friend
I am not the one

you had better open your eyes and
call a spade a spade

when we met the first time
you spilled some coffee on my dress
you were quite embarrassed
and I fell in love

you saw me to my door
I said that my room was in a mess
I was quite embarrassed
and then we made love

I walk on a sunray, darling
my tightrope is made of pleasure
I bathe in the sunlight, darling
each time I can be with you

I walk on a sunray, darling
whenever we are together
I bathe in the sunlight, darling
each time I can be with you

when you come into town
we make a date at the same bar
it's our celebration
before we make love

my room's ready for you
there's music and the door is ajar
my days of elation
'cause I am in love

I walk on a sunray, darling
my tightrope is made of pleasure
I bathe in the sunlight, darling
each time I can be with you

I walk on a sunray, darling
whenever we are together
I bathe in the sunlight, darling
each time I can be with you

I would not want to put you under pressure
I know how things are
the time and love that you can spend on me
goes only this far

I'm gonna take what I get and I will seize
each day we share
and what tomorrow will bring that we will see
I don't care

I walk on a sunray, darling
my tightrope is made of pleasure
I bathe in the sunlight, darling
each time I can be with you

I walk on a sunray, darling
whenever we are together
I bathe in the sunlight, darling
each time I can be with you

since we met the first time
I've been under your spell

another Friday
weekend lies ahead
another Friday
a day I've come to dread

hangin around
with guys you don’t wanna know
tryin to get high
then let it go

I am feeling churned up
I'm feeling turned on
I waver between
lust and rage

I am feeling churned up
I'm feeling turned on
I feel like
a tiger in a cage

look at the chicks now
each girl with her guy
gotta barge in between
just give it a try

this girl I go for
I'm gonna sex her up
the bloke she's come with
will be an easy job

I am feeling churned up
I'm feeling turned on
I waver between
lust and rage

I am feeling churned up
I'm feeling turned on
I feel like
a tiger in a cage

she's left me flat now
to get it on with that prick
thinking about it
makes me feel sick

I'm feeling churned up
I'm feeling turned on
I waver between
lust and rage

I am feeling churned up
I'm feeling turned on
I feel like
a tiger in a cage

we speak their law, we use their words
although their buildings crumble
their ancient roads still lead the way
on which we walk and stumble
whole nations speak a language
that very much is theirs
much more than we may think
we are the Romans' heirs

they've left their traces
o'r many places
unfaced by diff'rent cultures or diff'rent races
they've left their traces

a Facebook page, a mail account
that have been left deserted
unanswered posts on sev'ral boards
that look like ill concerted
a man who once was bustling
thriving, vivid, blithe
silenced now forever
in his prime of life

he's leaving traces
o'r many places
his postings, thoughts and pictures spread over hyperspaces
he's leaving traces

a proud old man, a baby boy -
his long-awaited grandson
descendant, heir to a long line
who will in the long run
set up his sep'rate fam'ly
pass on his genes and name
maybe eventually
he'll even come to fame

he's leaving traces
o'r many places
the ancestry clearly showing in the faces
he's leaving traces

we're here on earth for a short visit
we're doing well to make the most of it
bringing forth human achievements
so future generations benefit

we're leaving traces
all o'r the places
intended, unintended, yet in all cases
we're leaving traces
