Lead Vocal by Jim
2
Don't tell me I'm wrong,
3
'Cause I've been watching every move that you make.
4
Hearts you steal, when you're made-up and heels
5
Trouble for the man that you take.
6
Every time you walk in the room
7
I couldn't ever be sure of a smile
8
You were never the same way twice,
9
I'm falling in love
10
Oh, night after night - oh it's crazy...ooh
11
So many people who said, ooh
12
Girl you've got nothing but time
13
Oh you are a shining star
14
Don't you worry 'bout what you're leaving behind.
15
Every time you walk in the room
16
I couldn't ever be sure of a smile
17
You were never the same way twice,
18
I'm falling in love
19
Oh, night after night - oh it's crazy...
20
Oh you got to try, try, try.
21
Ah don't you know you've got to try,
22
Try, try. Oooh
23
Oh baby you try, oh.
24
SOLO
25
Every time you walk in the room
26
I couldn't ever be sure of a smile
27
You were never the same way twice,
28
I'm falling in love
29
Oh, night after night - oh it's crazy...
30
Oh you got to try, try, try.
31
Ah don't you know you've got to try,
32
Try, try. Oooh oh baby you try, oh woah woah try, oh woah woah
33
I don't know if you've ever seen the movie
34
Sunset Boulevard but at the beginning of
35
this movie William Holden is floating-dead-in
36
a pool and behind him all these flashes are
37
going off of the police and news photogra-
38
phers and then the voice of this guy who's
39
floating in this pool comes over and starts
40
telling us about this crazy arrangement he's
41
been having with Gloria Swanson, some
42
chaffeur named Von Stroheim and a Chim-
43
panzee in a white satin coffin but what he's
44
really talking about is how we're continually
45
being confronted with the possibility of our
46
own corruption and how if you're not care-
47
ful you can be swallowed up whole by your
48
own ambitions. Now in his own life, William
49
was a bit of a drinker and one night sittin at
50
home after having a couple too many, he
51
falls down and hits his head on a coffee
52
table...no big deal...so goes to the bath-
53
room, gets a towel, puts it to his head and
54
stumbles off to bed but he never woke up...he
55
was so loaded that he ends up bleeding to
56
death, lying there in a pool of his own blood...
57
HMPH...this song is about that sort
58
of feeling...that burnout kinda feeling of
59
when a bad thing has been going on for too
60
long and an act of sympathy makes as much
61
sense as putting a towel to your head.
