There's a time for love and a time for living. You take a chance and face the wind. An open road and a road that's hidden A brand new life around the bend.
There were times when I lost a dream or two. Found the trail, and at the end was you. There's a path you take and a path untaken The choice is up to you my friend.
Nights are long but you might awaken To a brand new life, Brand new life, Brand new life around the bend.
There are times when a woman has to say what's on her mind Even though she knows how much it's gonna hurt Before I say another word let me tell you, I love you Let me hold you close and say these words as gently as I can There's been another man that I've needed and I've loved But that doesn't mean I love you less And he knows he can't possess me and he knows he never will There's just this empty place inside of me that only he can fill
Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool Lovin' both of you is breakin' all the rules Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool Lovin' you both is breakin' all the rules You mustn't think you've failed me Just because there's someone else You were the first real love I ever had And all the things I ever said I swear they still are true For no one else can have the part of me I gave to you
I couldn't really blame you if you turned and walked away But with everything I feel inside, I'm asking you to stay
Torn between two lovers
Feelin' like a fool Lovin' both of you is breakin' all the rules
The beast lives out of the raging storm in the dead of night The ravenous, blood-sick creatures searches for it's sacrifice Through the hideous darkness, it lurches, driven by death itself Only the satisfaction of slaughter will cause it to return to The darkness from which it came"
Boogie woogie woogie woogie wu

I wanna tell you about my hometown It's a dusty old jewel in the South Puget Sound Well, the factories churn and the timbers all cut down And life goes by slow in Tacoma
People they laugh when they hear you're from my town They say it's a sour and used up old place I defended its honor, shrugged off the putdowns You know that you're poor from Tacoma
The buildings are empty like ghettos or ghostowns It gives me a chill to think what was inside I can't seem to fathom the dark of my history I invented my own in Tacoma
There was nothing to put me in love with the good life I'm in league with the the gangs and the guns and the crime There was no hollow promise that life would reward you There was nowhere to hide in Tacoma
People who built it, they loved it like I do There was hope in the train yards that something inspired Once was I on it but it's been painted shut I found passion for life in Tacoma
Well, I don't make it home much, I sadly neglect you But that's how you like it away from the world God bless California, make way for the Wal-Mart I hope they don't find you Tacoma

But that doesn't mean I love you less
And he knows he can't possess me and he knows he never will

Lovin' both of you is breakin' all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool
Lovin' you both is breakin' all the rules
You mustn't think you've failed me
Just because there's someone else
You were the first real love I ever had

I swear they still are true
For no one else can have the part of me I gave to you
I couldn't really blame you if you turned and walked away
But with everything I feel inside, I'm asking you to stay

Only the satisfaction of slaughter will cause it to return to
The darkness from which it came"
