Too scared I could not run
I could not make a sound
Lights were flashing
My whole life passing
My feet were stuck to the ground

Too light to call it night
Too dark to call it day
Too scared to stay and fight
Too scared to run away

So scared I could not move
I could not make a sound
There were people running
People shouting
Flashes all around

Too scared to run
Too scared to run away

Too scared I could not think
My eyes could not scarcely see
My heart was racing
My legs were shaking
They would not carry me

Lights were flashing
My whole life passing
My heart, my heart
My heart was racing
My legs were shaking
Could not see, I could not see

On the rebound, on the rebound
That's how you fell for me
That's how you changed my life
You cut me like a knife

On the rebound, on the rebound
You came, you saw, you took
It only took one look
And lady, I was hooked

On the rebound - it's a replay ...

Your love was on the rebound
On the rebound
You came and took my soul
You came and left a hole
Where your love used to be

On the rebound, on the rebound


You like to drown in your tears
And after all these years
You give your pain to me

On the rebound - you came to me, babe
On the rebound - to set you free
On the rebound - too bad for me
Your love was on the rebound

You came to me
To set you free
To pray for me
It's a replay
You came to repay
It's a replay
To set you free
Just a replay
Your love was
Just a replay

I've been thinking about
What you said last night
And for all your fine words
You still don't have it right

'Cause that's the way that it is
And you won't ever change
You can scream at me
But the powers that be
Won't ever hear your voice
'Cause they're lost
In their own importance
No, they'll never hear your voice

'Cause that's the way that it is
And you won't ever change it

I've heard all your stories
Of how the few can be strong
And how you'll fight to the end
Just to prove me wrong

'Cause that's the way that you are
And you won't ever change it
But don't come cryin' to me
If your fanciful schemes
Don't turn out like you planned
'Cause you're chasin'
After something
That keeps slippin'
Through your hand

That's the way that it is
And you won't change it

Time has come to say goodbye
To the broken memories
They're locked inside like prisoners
In a place that no-one sees

Stayed up late with a friend of mine
Southern comfort till dawn
We talked about the pains of love
Should've known from
The start you were wrong

I'm just a prisoner
Don't wanna lock myself away
Prisoner - I get so lonely, lonely
I'm a prisoner
Just when do you think love will stay
It walks right out on you - out on you

Tired blood runs through my veins
But I can't get no sleep
You lock my heart


In these prison walls
This place I've got to leave

I'm a prisoner
Don't wanna lock myself away
Prisoner - I get so lonely, lonely
I'm a prisoner
Just when do you think love will stay
It walks right out on you - out on you

The sky is grey, it's raining
Like the storm in my heart
There ain't no use explaining
'cause I'm leaving, leaving

Won't somebody set me free
Take me away from this misery
I get so lonely
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely
Won't somebody set me free
Please, please, set me free

I got a solid silver reason
I got something you'll never buy
I've spent my life playing rock'n'roll
I wouldn't tell a lie
Well if you want to taste the freedom
Just let the music take a hold
I'm possessed by rock'n'roll
There's a thunder
See it and wonder
How to play the game
It's easy

You know we're gonna live forever
You know we're never gonna die
You see it's written
Across the sky tonight
I'm gonna tell you why
Because they've covered up the exits
We got a spotlight just for you
Im possessed by rock'n'roll
Hear me callling, stars are falling
Taking me away

Stand up - shout it out
I'm possessed by rock 'n' roll
Stand up - shout it out
Sell your soul
Stand up - shout it out
Let the music take a hold


Stand up - shout it out
Rock 'n' roll

Can't you feel we're getting stronger
Getting stronger every day
There ain't nothing gonna stop us
Oh, there ain't no way
It's like a rolling ball of thunder
You know it's never gonna stop
You know it's gonna drag you under
See me soaring
Thunders roaring
Things afraid again

I got a solid silver reason
I got something you'll never buy
I've spent my life with rock'n'roll
Oh no, would I lie
But if you want to taste the freedom
Just let the music take a hold
I'm possessed by rock'n'roll
There's a thunder
See it and wonder
How to play the game
It's easy

It's gonna drag you under
Gonna take your heart and soul
You gotta shout, shout, shout it out

I've had all I can take
I've taken just too much
I've made a big mistake
That put me out of touch
I don't think I can face
Another single day
Without a call from you
To take this pain away

So many tears ago
You turned and walked away
It could've been the end
But I knew better
I had to tell myself
There'll be another day
She wants to call it quits
But don't you let her

Can't you see


There's a chance for you and me
Think it over
Don't believe
In the things that may not be
Think it over

Why don't you think it over

Forgetting you is out
I ain't givin' in
The fuss was down to you
But it's not over
You have to face the truth
I'm still in love with you
I have to make you see
That it's not over

Why don't you think about it, babe
