Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Paice)



listen to

me

i've got a

warning for

you

you've got to

learn to take

more care

'cos if you swim in

dirty water

be careful how you dry

your hair

in a room within a room

in a hole within a hole

you've got to learn to share

your secrets

or you'll lose your soul



i've got the evidence

i know you broke the unwritten law

another town another one night stand

you know you broke the law



it's so hard to hold back

when the fire is in your eyes

a silver dollar in my pocket

i don't like surprises

i've got your souvenir

is that the price i've got to pay

it ain't been that long

since the last charade



i know you're guilty

but i'm carrying the blame

i took out much more than i put in

and i felt the pain

in a dirty little room

with nowhere left to hide

you told the truth with your eyes

but you lied inside
