From where I stand

I can see through you

And well ya said pretty woman

"I know it got to you"

I see the stars in your eyes

Ab

I dream you come, I run to you
Eb

You gave your life for rock 'n roll a-ha
Ab Eb Ab

Stay, we're on the dark side of love
Eb Ab

You've got everything you wanted

But what you needed you gave away

For primitive love

And we're riding the mystery train

(Rest of song continues as above)

You say it's love, it's not the money
You let them suck your life out like honey
Full of tricks
You're on the street
Selling your kisses so very sweet
(I'm back. And I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it
Oh the prize is to hold you back)
A primitive love
And we're riding the mystery train
A primitive love
A room at the heart
Heartbreak hotel.
