You can play the game, though you sacrifice contentment Always haunted by demons from the past When your pride is gone you'll be praying that it's not too late 'Cause you know that it won't last In your eyes no fear to demoralize The heat is rising, rising from the night Hear the cry, hear you callin' Hear the cry, cry of the gypsy Hang 'em high if you catch him Hear the cry... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Casbah (Pell) 10:01 Here I go and make my final stand Very far away there's the promised land The eagle came down and took me away Puts me down in a hole, I can't see the light of day Oohoh, riding on the wings of wonder Can you feel, the fire from down under Oh hoho - hoho Oh hoho - hoho Oh hoho, dreamin' of the casbah The wizard prays in his unbroken rules With tears in his eyes for a ship of fools Then we sailed away and the sun turned black We saw the eyes of the lost and we're never comin' back Oohoh, riding on the wings of wonder Can you feel, the fire from down under Oh hoho - hoho Oh hoho - hoho Oh hoho, dreamin' of the casbah ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) Outlaw (Pell) 3:59 Oh so long, hide your faces from the sun From the distance I hear you callin', 'cause you're on the run You're one out of millions and there's no place that you call home (It's) An endless turning circle, nobody cared where you're comin' from Where are you runnin' to, escape from yesterday Is this the price you have to pay Can't see the sun around, you're hidin' in the cave And if you don't care more, it will take you to the grave You're an outlaw Undercover in the night You're an outlaw There's no heart to jump inside You're an outlaw Broken hero in the night You're an outlaw Running wild Hear me screaming, it's agony and fear Shadows in the darkness, there's no "life" to appear I can't go on without love, I'm lost behind the wall I'm the guy who rids the devil, for whom the bells toll... Where are you runnin' to, escape from yesterday Is this the price you have to pay Can't see the sun around, you're hidin' in the cave And if you don't care more, it will take you to the grave You're an outlaw Undercover in the night You're an outlaw There's no heart to jump inside You're an outlaw Broken hero in the night You're an outlaw Running wild ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Wishing Well (Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirke, Tetsu Yamauchi, John Bundrick, Paul Kossoff) 4:01 (from Free "Heartbreaker" (1973)) Throw down your hat, kick off your shoes I know you ain't goin' anywhere Run 'round the town singin' your blues I know you ain't goin' anywhere You've always been a good friend of mine But you're always sayin' "Farewell" And the only time that you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself... Or is that what you're tryin' to do? Put up a fight you believe to be right And someday the sun will shine through You've always got something to hide Something you just can't tell And the only time that you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well And I know what you're wishing for Time in a peaceful world You've always been a good friend of mine But you're always sayin' "Farewell" And the only time that you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8) Innocent Child (Pell) 5:26 Hangin' out on the street with a face full of tears I couldn't understand why He puts me down in a hole I don't know where to go That's tearin' at my soul Endless pains goin' far too long Broken souls could never be so strong - again I'm an innocent child Hear me calling I'm an innocent child Hear me calling The nice guy was calling, he taught us not to fear And don't go cryin' to others He was bad to the bone with a heart made of stone Naked bodies all alone Endless pains goin' far too long Broken souls could never be so strong - again I'm an innocent child Hear me calling (I'm an) Innocent child Hear me calling ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9) Between The Walls (Pell / Soto) 4:05 Bounded by the middle of a dream Is it real or just a nightmare? Lost behind the shadow of the night Revelation of a new world, I'll take you there Try to fight the walls from closin' in You can sense the reaper callin' Don't close your eyes or you'll be next in line Nowhere to go when you're fallin' Your times comin' near There's nothing to fear Between the walls, between the walls In the line of fire, between the walls Takes you down to the wire Losing ground of life and fantasy With no footsteps to follow The light above might be the only way 'Cause darkness only brings you sorrow Your time's comin' near There's nothing to fear Between the walls, between the walls In the line of fire, between the walls Takes you down to the wire ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) Desert Fire (Pell) 3:08 Instrumental ------------------------------------------------------------------------
