Sittin' in a
cafe watchin' girls walk by
Watchin' the sun break through
the cloudy autumn sky
I can't think of anything,
no power or design except to lie inside your loving arms one more time
She said if we could live in paradise,
oh wouldn't that be nice
But the name of the game is sacrifice,
sacrifice
Drink a cup of coffee, buy a loaf of bread,
Try to do a little work to nullify my head.
All I can accomplish is an
other grain of sand,
All washed away by a
wave of fate's hand.
But I try not to exaggerate
the pain of my life
Because the name of the game is sacrifice,
sacrifice
Timmy was a petty thief,
shot by the police he came to in
Las
Vegas in a penthouse suite
He had a magic butler,
gave him all that he desired
A feast of wine and women till
his pas sions were expired
He couldn't understand
why a crook like him
Had died and gone to heaven
when his life was full of sin
And when he shot pool and
every ball quickly fell
he saw his butler was the devil,
his penthouse was in hell.
Life goes round like a washing machine,
Maybe to live it's getting dirty,
to die it's getting clean
To win a war is just impossible,
the battle never ends
Life and death and birth and love,
just feel all that you can
And in the land of
China, everybody's eating rice and tea
And as men square,
it's just another sacrifice
Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice,
sac rifice
Sacrifice,
Sacrifice
Sac rifice,
Sacrifice
