PRETTY MAIDS LYRICS

1. Love Games

[Music & Lyrics by: Atkins / Hammer]

Now wait a minute baby
Don't leave me, don't go
We'll work it out like we've done before
Another lonely night
Without you by my side
Can't take it, can't take it no more

A romantic chase
Two hearts out of phase
When love strikes, I'm out of control
Frustrating my mind
You know love is blind
Reflecting what's deep in my soul

The passion that rules
A feeling so strong
I just can't turn away from you
I may be a fool
But this can't go wrong
I was made for you

[Chorus:]
Love games
Two people together
Love games
Playing to win
Love games
We're dealing forever in sin
Forever in sin

Caught up in the game
And there's no one to blame
Inside this casino of love
Just messing around
With the face of a clown
Playing until I've had enough

You're rolling the dice
I'm stripped by your eyes
I can't stand the way you're teasing
As sly as a snake
You got all that it takes
You'll make a heart stop beating

[Chorus]

Since the first time you touched me
Just one time too much
Brought me down on my knees
Since the first time we kissed
I was more than possessed
I was eager to please

[Chorus]

2. Needles In The Dark

[Music & Lyrics by: Atkins / Hammer]

Welcome to the dark side of the 20th century
The world has gone crazy
Tells you tales and show you things you hardly won't believe
Though you gotta face it

I'm watching the screen
I hear what they say
But I don't believe
The words of today

Walking back in history
The wise men prophesied
That hard times were dawning
Read into their tarots
For the future of mankind
And cried out their warnings

I'm watching the screen
I hear what they say
But I don't believe
The words of today

[Chorus:]
Needles in the dark
There are needles in the dark
Needles in the dark
There are needles in the dark

Wars and religion
Are a threat to planet Earth
The hunger for power
We'll be victims when we're reaching red alert
In the final hour

[Chorus]

Mountains of madness
Will turn into sadness
We'll die
WHY?
Father creator
Look at mother nature
She cries
Oh Lord in the skies
Please take me away

[Chorus]

3. Yellow Rain

[Music & Lyrics by: Atkins / Hammer]

Tears in his eyes
The fear, oh it never dies
The echoes of the past
Are rolling on and on
For those who were left back
Tomorrow never comes
Oh, it never comes

[Chorus:]
And after all these years
Something still remains
The forever repercussions
The eternal pain
Another sleepless night
And another break of day
It doesn't matter anymore
His life will fade away
In yellow rain

They crossed the water
Back in '69
They fought for glory
Behind the enemy lines
Fighting for the nations
Pushed into the war
Without not even knowing why
Or what they're fighting for

Oh, oh
Out on the plains
Some are the masters
Some are the slaves
Oh, oh
War is a never-ending mission
You're just a pawn in a game
Where the number is your name

Left home as heroes
Fools when they returned
Blamed for all the damage
And the villages they burned
Betrayed by their leaders
Murderers they were called
Denounced as crazy maniacs
And locked behind the walls

Oh, oh
Out on the plains
Some are the masters
Some are the slaves
Oh, oh
War is a never-ending mission
They are the victims
Doomed to die

In yellow rain
We've seen them dying in the fields
In yellow rain
Just like a knight
Who's in a fight, without a shield

Oh no
Try to forget, but it just won't go
Oh no
Forever in their memories
Oh no
Hell's just some thousand miles away
Oh no no

Oh, oh
Out on the plains
Some are the masters
Some are the slaves
Oh, oh
War is a never-ending mission
They are the victims
Doomed to die

[Chorus]
