    You're such a secret, misty eyes and shady
    Lady how you hold the key
    Oh you're like a candle, your flame slowly fadin'
    Burnin' out and burnin' me
    Can't you see, just tryin' to say to you

    You're bringin' on the heartache
    Takin' all the best of me, oh can't you see?

    Best Lyrics:

    Lady luck never smiles
    So lend your love to me awhile
    Do with me what you will
    Break the spell take your fill
    On and on we rode the storm
    The flame has died and the fire has gone
    Oh, this empty bed is a night alone
    I realized that long ago

    Best Lyrics:

    A wild ride, over stony ground
    Such a lust for life, the circus comes to town
    We are the hungry ones, on a lightning raid
    Just like a river runs, like a fire needs flame, oh

    Rise up, gather round
    Rock this place to the ground
    Burn it up, let's go for broke
    Watch the night go up in smoke

    Rock on (Rock on)
    Drive me crazier
    No serenade, no fire brigade
    Just the pyromania, come on

    Best Lyrics:

    Standing by the trapdoor aware of me and you
    The actor and the clown, they're waiting for their cue
    And there's a lady over there, she's acting pretty cool
    But when it comes to playing life
    She always plays the fool

    But it's too late, too late, it's too late, too late for love
