You got a lot to learn You play in the fire...you might get burned You gotta sacrifice You're playin' the victim of your own device You try to understand The comb-in-the-ashes isn't what you planned You...it gets you every time You're chasin' the visions--they're nowhere to find Learn how to give...learn how to take Learn how to live before it's too late You got the restless eyes They turn to distraction--there's no compromise You gotta take some time And fight for the answers--they're hard to find You..now don'tcha fantasize Start makin' your chances materialize Learn how to bend...learn how to break Learn how to mend broken heartaches Learn to forgive...learn how to wait Learn how to live before it's too late Run from the light, and you lock all your doors It's harder to fight when you've gone down before The scene's 're so right--but they play out so wrong So into the night it goes on and on and on and on and on
