SACRIFICE

Sitting in a cafe watching girls walk by
Watching the sun break through the cloudy autumn sky
I can't think of anyone - no power or design
Except to lie inside your loving arms one more times
She said if we could live in paradise
Oh wouldn't that be nice
But the name of the game is sacrifice
Sacrifice

Drink a cup of coffee buy a loaf of bread
Try to do a little work to nullify my head
All I can accomplish like another grain of sand
It can all be washed away by a wave of fate's hand
Still I try not to exaggerate the pain of my life because the name of the game is
sacrifice
Sacrifice

On TV was a petty thief shot by the police
He came to in Las Vegas in a Penthouse suite
He had a magic butler gave him all that he desired
A feast of wine and women till his passions were expired
He couldn't understand how a crook like him
Had died and gone to heaven when his life was full of sin
But when he shot pool and every ball quickly fell
He saw his butler was the devil and his penthouse was in hell

Life goes round like a washing machine
Maybe to live is getting dirty maybe to die is getting clean
To win a war may be impossible - the battle never ends
Life and death and birth and love you feel all that you can
In the land of china everybody's eating rice
And in Tianamen Square its just another sacrifice
Sacrifice
