Lyric de Jour

They say opposites attract. I tend to be attracted to characters in my writing who, for any of a number of reasons, are unable to find happiness. I'm not one of these people, I am one of the fortunate few.

m Murra So Many Rules In This Game The story never seems to change Like it was cast in stone A different lover most every day But you still live your life all alone Your main obsession is just to be The master of your own fate Nothing will ever tame your heart No love could be that great But soon the night will come closin’ in Like a thousand nights before And the siren song that haunts your soul Won't be silent anymore Cause life comes with no guarantees And no honour to be preserved God have mercy on the gypsy souls Who get just what they deserve So many spirits in disarray So many reasons to give up the fight So many lies they smother you So many shadows crowd out the light So many words left unspoken So many lovers in so much pain. So many promises broken in the dust So many rules in this game There will be another lover tonight Another famous one night stand Another empty escapade In your played-out Promised Land But life comes with no guarantees And no honor to make you pure God have mercy on all fallen Angels And the sins they must endure
