Look around - Got no place to stay. God I hate this town, depending on the day. You look me up, you look me down - Alright, OK. While I got no life, I got no hope; I'm falling in love. Help me through the fight; Help me win tonight - I'm calling. What to do I find it hard to know; The road I walk is not the one I chose Lift me up and turn me over; Lead me on into the dawn. Take me to the highest mountain; Tie me up, love in a storm. Have you decided on my fortune? Facing the future in your eyes, With your imperial behaviour We fight amidst the battle cries. Open doors - They may be closed to me; The fire's still burning in my heart... What to do I find it hard to know; I want to turn my life around...
