Souls

It all started here, she was a girl from the Midwest
 He was a stranger in a strange land, same old story
 He came for the glory
 She came looking for a young man's hand
 But they found bright lights, endless nights
 And men just used her innocent ways
 He found it all so pretty, hypnotized by the city
 They lost sight of the reason, they lost count of the days
 And they were two souls searching for each other
 One spirit looking for the other
 Caught between a hard
 Hard place and a rock
 Two souls searching for heaven
 Rolling the dice looking for a seven
 To the tick, tick, ticking of time
 Gotta beat the clock
 Too many nights on the ledge, he acquired a knife-edge
 Still the city didn't acquiesce to his demands
 Some nights, she cried for pity in the heart of the city
 The city smacked her hands
 He met her one endless night, her eyes had a light
 There was something familiar about the smell of her skin
 He held her tighter and tighter as he danced inside her
 She knew from the moment that she let him in
 They'd been two souls searching for each other
 One spirit looking for the other
 Caught between a hard
 Hard place and a rock
 Two souls searching for heaven
 Rolling the dice looking for a seven
 To the tick, tick, ticking of time
 Gotta beat the clock
 Beat the clock
 Beat the clock
 Beat the clock
 Two souls searching for each other
 One spirit looking for the other
 Caught between a hard
 Hard place and a rock, yeah
 Two souls searching for heaven
 Rolling the dice looking for a seven
 To the tick, tick, ticking of time
 Gotta beat the clock
 Two souls searching for each other
 One spirit looking for the other
 Caught between a hard
 Hard place and a rock
 Two souls searching for heaven
 Rolling the dice looking for a seven
 To the tick, tick, ticking of time
 Gotta beat the clock
