whatever it takes
as the still of the night
and the choke of the air
and the winners' delight
and the losers' despair
closes in left and right
i would love not to care
stone, the world is stone
from a faraway look
without stars in my eyes
through the halls of the rich
and the flats of the poor
wherever i go
there's no warmth anymore
there's no love anymore
so i turn on my heels
i'm declining the fall
i've had all i can take
with my back to the wall
tell the world i'm not in
i'm not taking the call
and the choke of the air
and the winners' delight
and the losers' despair
closes in left and right
i would love not to care
stone, the world is stone
from a faraway look
without stars in my eyes
through the halls of the rich
and the flats of the poor
wherever i go
there's no warmth anymore
there's no love anymore
so i turn on my heels
i'm declining the fall
i've had all i can take
with my back to the wall
tell the world i'm not in
i'm not taking the call
