The Apprentice
I work at the station
At the heart of the nation,
I tell you no lie.
I keep the pace
In the energy race,
I never ask why.
I work at the station

Deny this love if you can,
Deny this love if you can.
Deny this love if you can, sweet Jesus!
I saw her walking down the street with the night down at her feet,
Walking just to get the day done.
Nothing good to say, she's got no nothing good to do,
Praying for a little help to come.
I feel that I have known you for a lifetime now,
Though these eyes of mine have never touched your face.
The distance between us seems so great sometimes.
How I need your love to fill this empty space..
Turning, turning,
Turning the tide;
Turning, turning,
Turning the tide.
Sometimes it gets hard to listen,
It gets hard just to use our eyes.
All around the storms are gathering,
All around just darkening skies.
Turning, turning,
Turning the tide;
Turning, turning,
Turning the tide.
I don't want to see more destruction,
I am waiting for the turn of this tide.
I don't want to know any more of this evil,
Waiting for the turn of the tide.
Turning, turning,
Turning the tide;
Turning, turning,
Turning the tide.

Turning, turning,
There's no lights tonight
And there's no moon.
There's just a hot-blooded singer
Singing 'Memphis in june'.
They beat the hell from a guy
In a powder-blue wig.
What seems so dangerous from a distance,
Up close never seems so big.
I'm John Wayne!
I believe I'm John Wayne!
They call me John Wayne.
You know you've got it coming;
I'll tell it to you straight.
I'm coming for you very soon;
I'll never hesitate.
I've been watching you, my friend,
I've been watching all the things that you try to do.
Got my eyes on you, my friend,
I've been checking all the moves, checking all the moves.
Closer and closer; closer to the edge of your disaster.
Nearer and nearer, nearer to the judgement day.
Tell me, who
Believes in angels anymore?
I do, 'cause one walked through my door,
Just a while ago;
Saying she loved me so,
Leaving my blues on the floor.
It makes no difference if you love or hate her;
Whatever you do, it's all the same.
It makes no difference if you just ignore her,
Whatever you do, she runs the game.
Ever since we've been together,
We tried and tested every step we take.
And now we come to stormy weather,
We're questioning decisions that we make.
