As Long as You Stay

i wont't cross the way behind your back
the black cat is chasing its own tail tonight
i got to catch the sound strolling down the streets
it seems like the city's going crazy from the heat

i feel the power of love and life
it hangs above my head there like neon letters in the sky
i'm under pressure to follow the flow
the chance for a change is still everywhere i go

hair is growing on my back
i'm still good looking though i'm wrecked
but as long as you stay
but as long as you stay

hair is growing on my back
i'm still good looking though i'm wrecked
but as long as you stay
i won't lose my way

hey time is not a friend of mine
i'm standing in the firing line
but as long as you stay
i won't lose my way

you look back over your shoulder
and say "hey, you're just growing older"

i grab a seat and stick to the drink in my hand
take a rest between the sets like the drummer in a wedding band
you need a lot of patience on the avenue to fame
you've got no rich friends to get you on a charterplane

sometimes i wonder what's going on on your tracks

hair is growing on my back
i'm still good looking though i'm wrecked
but as long as you stay
but as long as you stay

hair is growing on my back
i'm still good looking though i'm wrecked
but as long as you stay
i won't lose my way

hey time is not a friend of mine
i'm standing in the firing line
but as long as you stay
i won't lose my way

sometimes i wonder what's going on in my head
when i'm just thinking about myself
huuhh
going mad
