Lyrics

[00:00.640]
[00:11.350] Again and again the same situation
[00:13.160]
[00:14.230] For so many years
[00:17.350]
[00:18.160] Tethered to a ringing telephone
[00:21.100] In a room full ot mirrors
[00:24.660] A pretty girl in your bathroom
[00:27.380]
[00:28.220] Checking out her sex appeal
[00:31.210]
[00:33.280] I asked myself when you said you loved me
[00:36.620] Do you think this can be real
[00:40.300]
[00:41.820] Still i sent up my prayer
[00:44.350]
[00:45.030] Wondering where it had to go
[00:47.870]
[00:50.500] With heaven full of astronauts
[00:54.130] And the lord on death row
[00:57.370]
[00:59.200] While the millions of his lost and lonely ones
[01:02.370] Call out and clamour to be found
[01:05.770]
[01:08.910] Caught in their struggle for higher positions
[01:11.800]
[01:12.320] And their search for love that sticks around
[01:15.640]
[01:21.080] You've had lots of lovely women
[01:24.060] Now you turn your gaze to me
[01:27.870] Weighing the beauty and the imperfection
[01:31.280] To see if i'm worthy
[01:33.810]
[01:34.370] Like the church
[01:35.310] Like a cop
[01:36.240] Like a mother
[01:38.010] You want me to be truthful
[01:42.290] Sometimes you turn it on me like a weapon though
[01:45.860] And i need your approval
[01:48.800]
[01:51.360] Still i sent up my prayer
[01:54.140] Wondering who was there to hear
[01:57.600]
[01:58.940] I said send me somebody
[02:02.120]
[02:03.110] Who's strong and somewhat sincere
[02:07.390]
[02:08.060] With the millions of the lost and lonely ones
[02:11.610] I called out to be released
[02:15.320]
[02:17.620] Caught in my struggle for higher achievements
[02:20.810] And my search for love
[02:22.630] That don't seem to cease
[02:25.010]
