Lonely But Free Lyrics

All the games are fixed

And the cards are marked

The streets are filled

With lost and lonely lovers

In the after dark

I was fooled by a promise

Of a chance with you

But my heart is so cruel

It told me this love

Would be true

I guess

I never could tell

There's a difference between

Heaven and Hell

I'm standing on the stage

Where Elvis once stood

To bring the curtain down

Would do you no good

I'm laughing

At all of your lies

Though the joke's on me

But so we go on

Lonely but free

All the gigolos are fighting

And the tramps are

Teary eyed

As I stand in a courtroom

Where my rights

Have been denied

I was frightened by tomorrow

And haunted by yesterday

But I fell for you

And you acted

Like this was a play

And nobody knows

Why I wear these

Emperor's clothes

I'm standing on the stage

Where Elvis once stood

To bring the curtain down

Would do you no good

I'm laughing

At all of your lies

Though the joke's on me

And so we go on

Lonely but free

It's a long way

And there ain't no

Turning back

It's a long way

And there ain't no

Turning back

It's a long way

And there ain't no

Turning back

And there ain't no

Turning back

And there ain't no

Turning back

I'm standing on the stage

Where Elvis once stood

The curtain's coming down

But I'm feeling good

I'm thinking of all the dreams

That burn eternally

And so we go on

Lonely but free
