And the people come out for the late night show, they're dressed up and ready, they're coming to see you letting go. The want to see you dance, dance, dance.

The music starts to play, and you know every note. The audience listen and they're looking around for you, you, you. You, you, you!

Verse 1

There’s a game called football, and I need to play. I can’t hide my feelings and I have to say. It doesn’t matter that my love is warm, and your voice is sweet. I’ve got football all inside of me, in my head and my feet.

Verse 2

I know you see me on the TV-screen, and in magazines. I know you do me in the beauty shop, how I look, how I feel. I know you’re lonely, when you’re alone at night. But you’ll be sure I put my love for you into every fight.

Chorus

You know I feel like Jesus, when I step on the field. I’ve got a sense of eternity, and that it’s up to me. So intense that it’s hard to see. It’s a war of emotions between the ball and me.

Verse 3

If you only understand me, this can be real nice. We’ll have a house and a family, and fish with rice (sushi). You’ll see my point, when you see me play. I’m religion to men and kids, miles away.

Verse 1

Old man wake up, there's a letter on your desk. Your baby has been writing to you, so get up off your ass. Never I can fit this bill I say to myself, as so many times before. My heart is still pumping, I don't know about you. Forgivness is a precious word. But hatred fits the bill.

Verse 2

Open your door, step throu the forgotten gate that the monkey locked. Nature is calling for you, to give back what you once took. I just want to be happy. And I want you to be glad. You know I still love you, but it feels like you're dead. I sure miss the woman that I wed.

Words

Verse 1

September was the first time, when you covered me in doubt. I can’t step back to see you clearer now. I’ve lost my head I am without. Oh, honey, honey, it’s the precious time, between the nightfall and the rise. If there’s a kingdom to be voted for, I am the minister of dice.

Verse 2

If I only had direction, I could run a million miles. But my compass spins like crazy. I play my cards in different piles. Oh, honey, honey, I can be the one that you care for and adore. If there’s a palace to be moving to, I will move with you some more.

Verse 3

September was the last time that I felt like this inside. And if my feelings do get through to you, there will be madness on the ride. Oh, honey, honey, I can get no sleep. You are a message from above. If I don’t do you like you tell me to, I’ll be like oven with no stove.
