Lyrics

Never Again

Sitting in my place, watching the old face
of Gary Cooper playing a trooper,
don't you love those old flicks on the tube.

Starting to daydream, visions of ice-cream,
someone is knocking, well, it ain't rocking,
but I can't be disturbed, I'm in the mood.

Chorus
All the dreams that I once put aside
and never satisfied,
can't you see that names and faces don't mean a thing at nite.

Out on the sidewalk, chatter and small talk,
I'm out thru the backdoor, down to the lake shore,
waves are crashing under starry skies.

My heartbeat is racing, there's people embracing,
I'd like to inquire, but moon-clad attire
makes me look conspicuous at best.

Chorus
There's no time for contemplating,
I should have stayed inside,
can't you see that names and faces don't mean a thing at nite.

...never again, never again....
(instrumental break)

Back in the old days, life was a child's play
mem'ries are hazy, the mind's getting lazy,
please don't call if you knew me back when.

Chorus
All the guys that once took me aside
to keep me satisfied,
don't you know that names and faces don't mean a thing at nite

Never again, never again,...
