Since you're gone I spend each lonely night
Dealing out the cards from left to right
And the queen of hearts is there to remind me
That I'm all alone just playing solitaire
Love was just another game for two
I see now that's all it meant to you
And my heart got lost somewhere in the shuffle
Now I'm all alone just playing solitaire
In each romance there's an element of chance
The gamble to win or to lose
You play to win
Then you find you're playing in a game with no rules, just made for fools
Now the joker has the laugh on me
Cuz I played my hand so carelessly
And until you want to share that old feeling
I'll be dealing time away with solitaire
And until you want to share that old feeling
C'était un homme aux yeux de nuit
Au coeur perdu par trop d'indifférence
Qui entre lui et ses amis
Avait construit un rempart de silence
Le solitaire portait bien son nom
Toutes ses rues menaient à des prisons
Il habitait seul avec ses secrets
L'impasse des regrets
Il était jusqu'au bord de la folie
Le compagnon de la mélancolie
Parmi les vents qui font tourner la terre
Il restait solitaire
C'était un homme de nulle part
Dont la mémoire n'avait pas d'horizon
Le solitaire portait bien son nom
Toutes ses rues menaient à des prisons
Il habitait seul avec ses secrets
L'impasse des regrets
Il était jusqu'au bord de la folie
Le compagnon de la mélancolie
Parmi les vents qui font tourner la terre
Brain-storming, habit-forming, battle-warning weary winsome actor spewing
spineless chilling lines--
The critics falling over to tell themselves he's boring
And really not an awful lot of fun.
Well who the hell can he be when he's never had V.D.,
And he doesn't even sit on toilet seats?
Court-jesting, never-resting--he must be very cunning
To assume an air of dignity
And bless us all
With his oratory prowess,
His lame-brained antics and his jumping in the air.
And every night his act's the same
And so it must be all a game of chess he's playing--
There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love through his indifference
A heart that cared, that went unchecked
Until it died in his silence
And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
Another day, a lonely day
So much to say that goes unspoken
And through the night, his sleepless nights
His eyes are closed, his heart is broken
And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
She's coming back again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
A little hope, goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying
Solitaireee
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
Ohhh
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire

Since you've gone, I spend each lonely night
Dealing out the cards from left to right
And the King of heart is there to remind me
Man, I'm all alone playing solitaire
Love was just another game for two
I see now that's all it's meant to you
And my heart got lost somewhere in the shuffle
So I'm all alone playing solitaire
In each romance, there's an element of chance
A gamble to win or to lose
You play to win, then you find you're playing in a game with no rules
Just made for fools
Now, the joker has a laugh on me
'Cause I played my hand so carelessly
And until you wanna share that old feeling
I'll be dealin' time away with solitaire
And until you want to share that old feeling
Honey, I'll be dealin' time away
There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference
A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died
Within his silence
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping to himself
He plays the game
Without her love
It always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes
Goes without saying
There was a man
A lonely man
Who would command
There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference
A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died
Within his silence
And Solitaire 's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without a (her??) love
It always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes
Goes without saying
There was a man
A lonely man
Who would command
The hand he's playing
And Solitaire 's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend

Once I thought the world was crazy
Everyone was sad and chasing
Happiness and love and
I was the only one above it
Once I thought without a doubt
I had it all figured out
Universe with hands unseen
I was cold as gasoline
Took too long to think
I was wrong to believe in me only
Once my life was a game so unfair
It beat me down and kept me there
Unaware of my naysayer
Solitaire was all I was playing
Took too long to see
I was wrong to believe in me only
On a dank December morning
A glass of I forgot the name
I can't unwind to water
I won't come back again
And the minutes turn to hours
Keep spinning cards that look the same
And the slow way the moment
Talk to you
It's time again all light is spent
My soul is free
And blessed to see
[CHORUS:]
Sometimes when I'm out of reach
And sometimes when I'm there
That is when our souls agree and join in solitaire
Sometimes when my will to love has gone away
That is when I hear your name
All the prison light is blinding
It's here to claim my sanity
I just can't stand the waiting
To revive ecstasy
It's time again
All light is spent
My soul is free
And blessed to see
[CHORUS]
I won't sustain another day
My love, my darkness
Daylight reflects my starving soul
And open wounds for everyone to see
[CHORUS 2x]
I want to hear your name
I can pretend for you, that I mean every word said it's true
That I'd probably rather be like a stranger in disguise
And act as if nothing ever..
Died or faded away, got lonelier with age
And time isn't on our side
I'm sorry to take the thoughts that keep you awake
And make it seem like they're overrated
You certainly talk about me more when
I fall down
And when I get up, my time is never enough
Loved in front behind my back hated
I guess it has everything to do with luck
I can defend the truth
but I sound like white noise to my friends
As I raise my glass to you
In a stupor we speak words
That couldn't be more honest
Lies we lived before are fights without a war
I'm dead when it's in your head
I'm starting to think that all the buoys we sink
Are cutting our chances of being saved
I see that the end is all we have to let us know
I'd like to believe in something more than a dream
For when the will to be one has faded
I guess the truth will soon be deceived
My friend that isn't there,
Mas você foi carregado neste mundo com nenhum amor
Mas você não é o unico
A deixar que vá
Todo dia nós lutamos de encontro à noite
Todo dia nós lutamos de encontro à noite
Por favor não feche o seus olhos
Você comecou a deixar saber o que está sentindo
Você comecou a deixar saber o que está sangrando
Voce comecou a não esconder mais
Por favor não feche o seus olhos
Você comecou a deixar saber o que está sentindo
Você comecou a deixar saber o que está sangrando
Você comecou a bota o seu coração para fora
Mas você foi carregado neste mundo com nenhum amor
Mas você não é o unico
A deixar que vá
Todo dia nós lutamos de encontro à noite
Todo dia nós lutamos de encontro à noite
Por favor não feche o seus olhos
Você comecou a deixar saber o que está sentindo
Você comecou a deixar saber o que está sangrando
Black on the red and the red on the black.
It's a tic of a tired mind.
Come and sit down, won't you try your luck.
See if you unwind.
Never use your threes and twos.
Follow superstition.
Otherwise you are going to lose.
Compulsion makes you listen.
Take what's wrong, and make it go right.
Weave it like a prayer.
Wonder if you you'll spend the night?
Playing solitaire?
Do it again, when you find you're all done.
Like an idiot savant.
Shuffle up your luck. You see, you almost won.
Now wrestle down what you want.
Jack on the Queen, and the ten on the Jack.
It's a happy repetition.
You and your fate in a kind of check-mate.
And you are your only competition.
Take what's wrong, and make it go right.
Weave it like a prayer.
Wonder if you you'll spend the night?
There was a man, a lonely man

I hurt myself again today,
Feelin' a little numb I could
Use the pain.
I always find myself in this
Little bind.
It's been a few weeks since
You've been around,
So here I sit with my hands
Strapped down patiently awaiting
Our secert games
We used to play
All alone, so here
I sit all tied up,
All alone with all my thoughts,
I do not mind if this goes on.
I think about about what I'll say to you
When you finally decide to
come my way,
I'm sitting around all painted
like a fool,
And I don't know how I got
This way, and I don't know how
much more I wanna take.
But I know you'll shoot me down,
and bury me before I get too high.
So here I sit all tied up all
Alone with my thoughts when
Will I learn to walk away
From the things I do that make
Me feel the way, I feel when
I'm with you? Tonight it's me, myself and I,
All this pain I seem to put
Myself through, all the ways I
Find to submit to you
Cat o' nine tails gettin' old
And I don't know how I got
This way I don't know how much more
I wanna take.
I got a millon ways to tame
Myself and a million nights to try
When will you come around
To do the things you do to me
i guess i missed the point, who was i trying to impress, i want to beat the game, who was i trying to beat, only fate, and if you wan to find me i'll be upstairs, locked in my room, cheating myself and no one else, locked in my room, cheating at solitaire i need to beat, i need to rub it in, cuz i got no one to share, i can't wait to go to school and tell my friends i cheated at solitaire
I still remember, how much I used to need you
Tried so hard to please you, but you didn't need me
You knew I loved you, knew I always would be there
You just did what you wanted, you didn't care
All the cards were held by you
There was nothin' I could do
All those nights I sat alone, starin' at the telephone
Wonderin' were you ever comin' home?
Solitaire, it got so lonely
Solitaire, no one to hold me
Where were you when I played solitaire?
It took some time, but I stopped thinkin' about you
Started livin' without you, now look who's back here
You've had a change of heart, well, mine just couldn't wait, no, no
You found out you loved me just a little too late
Once the cards were held by you
Now there's nothin' you can do
All those nights you sit alone, starin' at the telephone
Wonderin' if I'm ever comin' home?
Solitaire, see what it's like now
Solitaire, to cry all night now
Solitaire, see how it feels to bear
Solitaire, it gets so lonely
Solitaire, you wanna hold me
Don't wait up, 'cos babe, I won't be there
Solitaire, solitaire, solitaire
Solitaire, see what it's like now
Solitaire, to cry all night now
Solitaire, see how it feels to bear
Solitaire, it gets so lonely
Solitaire, you wanna hold me
Don't wait up, 'cos babe, I won't be there
Solitaire
There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference
A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died
Within his silence
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him takes him down
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping to himself, he plays the game
Without her love, it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere,
He's playing solitaire
A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes
Goes without saying
There was a man
A lonely man
Who would command
The hand he's playing
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him takes him down
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping to himself, he plays the game
Without her love, it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere,
He's playing solitaire
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him takes him down
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
Baby, don't you know
I hate it when you cry
When your tears fall down I feel like I could die
Or disappear that's the fear that you have
But you've got to follow your own path
I've always been told the tighter that you hold
You might just squeeze the life right out of your own soul
Love can take its toll on your heart
Why cant you finish what you start?
Love is cruel, baby
love ain't fair
And there ain't no map or book of rules to get you there
It's just a friendly game of solitaire
Love is cruel, baby
Love ain't fair
And there ain't no map or book of rules to get you there
It's just a friendly game of solitaire
Baby, cant you see
To love a man like me
I'm not so bulletproof
But this is something
I could never say to you
This sometimes buries me
And I don't know if this is someone I can be
I tell myself it's right
Still feels so wrong
It's better than nothing
I'd rather not be here all by myself
It's better than nothing here with someone else
It's better than nothing
I'd rather not be standing here alone
It's better than feeling like you're on your own
I'm not so culpable
There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love through his indifference
A heart that cared, that went unshared
Until it died in his silence
And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
Another day, a lonely day
So much to say that goes unspoken
And through the night, his sleepless nights
His eyes are closed, his heart is broken
And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
She's coming back again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
A little hope, goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying
Solitaireee
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
Ohhh
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
The nothingness of life
Plunged into eternal darkness
An animal at bay
Words cannot convey
All is bathed in grey
A cold wind's blow
It's touch and go
If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride
A torrid time
A strange design
Come hell or high water, come be the guide
I am here, down the ages
The road in deep despair
I'm solitaire
The diamond in your chain
The beacon fire in endless strain
The diamond in your chain
Is there a ghost of chance?
Here on this road to Damascus
The sun of eventide
Temptations misguide
The agony inside
Crash and burn
At every turn
Helplessly losing perception of time
A friendly card
A strange regard
Searching for reason and seeking for rhyme
I am here, down the ages
The road in deep despair
I'm solitaire
The diamond in your chain
The beacon fire in endless strain
The diamond in your chain
I am here, down the ages
The road in deep despair
I'm solitaire
The diamond in your chain
The beacon fire in endless strain
The diamond in your chain
Pylon in the rain
Beacon in the strain
Pylon in the rain
Diamond in the chain
Pylon in the rain
Beacon in the strain
Pylon in the rain
Diamond in the chain
I'm solitaire, I'm solitaire
Solitaire, I'm solitaire, woo-oo-oh
Potted plants hangin' down from the ceilin'
Creepin' up my windowsill
If the cats don't get 'em
The winter wind will
But I am a fool and I water them everyday
Have some faith in what's his name
The deck is stacked, but just the same
I'd rather lose a hand of hearts I swear
Than to win a round of solitaire
Both of us drink from a fountain of feelin'
Waitin' for the blood to spill
If the doubts don't get us then the apathy will
But I am a fool and I worship you everyday
Have some faith in what's his name
The deck is stacked, but just the same
I'd rather lose a hand of hearts I swear
Than to win a round of solitaire
Hiding the hurt of fighting and bickering
Thinking that we've had our fill
If the lies don't do it then the honesty will
But I am a fool and I water you everyday
Have some faith in what's his name
The deck is stacked, but just the same
I'd rather lose a hand of hearts I swear
Think you know the answer?
Think you got all the problems?
Well, why not try and solve them?
Instead of your sitting on them.
Solitaire. (x2)
Taking on new projects.
Steadily slipping sideways.
Close your ears to reason.
Your very valued opinion.
Solitaire. (x2)
Nothing is getting you nowhere.
Never meaning what you're saying.
Well, now I need a decision.

[Verse 1]
Flowers don't mean nothing anymore
All those gifts and all my love letters
you've thrown them out the door
even when I try I end up sleeping on the floor
I'm guessing that just doesn't make the heart grow farther anymore
So was I wrong, for my mistakes
You waited long, but I was late
I promised I would love you better, I would love you better
I guess your heart, has found a place
and now your love, has gone away
I thought that I would do much better, better
[Chorus]
Where did she go?
Was I dreaming? I know this feeling all too well, all too well
Where did she go?
Now I'm lonely like I was playing solitaire
Solitaire
now i'm lonely, like I was playing solitaire
[Verse 2]
Was I dreaming when I held my baby yesterday
Now your love, is so far away
sleepless
dreamless
restless
breathless, chasing after your love
So was I wrong for my mistakes
You waited long but I was late
I promised I would love you better, I would love you better
I guess your heart has found a place
and now your love has gone away
I thought that I would do much better, better
[Chorus]
Where did she go?
Was I dreaming? I know this feeling all too well, all too well
Where did she go?
Now I'm lonely like I was playing solitaire
Solitaire
now i'm lonely, like I was playing solitaire
Think you know the answer?
Think you got all the problems?

On a winter's day
I don't need anyone
On the month of May
I don't need anyone
Got some cigarettes
I don't need anyone
And no real regrets
I don't need anyone
Talk about the future
And no one even cares
Talk about the future
Solitaire
Some buy diamond rings
I don't need anything
Angels clip their wings
I don't need anything
For the price you pay
I don't need anyone
I'll just walk away
I don't need anyone
Talk about the future
And roll you're heart away
Talk about the future
In the soul
Talk about the future
And no one even cares
Talk about the future

We're more than
overwhelmed
by hundreds of hugs and
a million good words.
We are
satisfied
from monday til friday
and on sunday we cry.
But we like it
from that point of view,
so we stay here and bare until dawn everyday.
And we stay here and bare everyday.
We never ever lie.
From ten in the morning
we are honest til nine.
We are overcute.
We never will manage to be rude only twice.
But we like it from
that point of view.
So we stay here and bare until dawn
everyday. And we stay
here and bare everyday.

Lie four aces ahead of you
Show the cards
Dealer call them out too
Face of the King to
The right of the Ace
Joker is crying
It's all a disgrace
Ah yeah
Continue the deal
Til your deck is used up
Loaded and losing
Face down on your luck
Hearts on fire
Spades admire
Make life an adventure
For the devil may care
If it's whether you
Win and I lose
Good luck with your millions
I'll play solitaire
I'll play solitaire

Fifty two the pawn
He never rests
King of kings
The devil placed his bets
There's something up his sleeve
Ace of spades, he deals again
Jack of clubs, he bleeds
Hearts on fire
Spades admire
Make life an adventure
For the devil may care
If it's whether you
Win and I lose
Good luck with your millions
I'll play solitaire
I'll play solitaire
I'll play solitaire

Hearts on fire

There's something movin' in the air tonight
There's somthing movin' at the speed of light
And it's calling, calling, calling to you
I got a feeling running through my veins
We may never get this chance again and
It's calling, calling, calling to you, yeah!
Some can't understand, and they'll only go so far
It all depends on you, to fight for what you are
Strike the drums
Stand up and shout
It's only rock and roll
That's what we're all about
There's a feeling from inside your soul
There's a message in the rock and roll
And it's calling, calling, calling to you
No easy going, no compromise
You know the rhythm's got you hypnotized
And it's calling, calling, calling to you, yeah!
Some can't understand, and they'll only go so far
It all depends on you, to fight for what you are
Strike the drums
Stand up and shout
It's only rock and roll
That's what we're all about
There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference
A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died
Within his silence
And solitaire’s the only game in town
And every road that takes him takes him down
And by himself it’s easy to pretend
He’ll never love again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He’s playing solitaire
And solitaire’s the only game in town
And every road that takes him takes him down
And by himself it’s easy to pretend

Solitaire is a dare
It's the chair that you wanted
Tempo's changed but your still the same
Sewing things on thurs days is your business
Where are you gonna feel right at home
Where are you gonna feel right at home is it here in this
car is
Where are you gonna feel right at home it's not in this
car is it
oh child where did you get the nerve to ask me that
Solitaire is a chair
it's the chair that you wanted from there
the roof is on the roof is on the roof is on the other
side
ruth is on ruth is on to another guy another guy
I knew you all my life
Though only through my dreams
Look inside your mind and see what's on mine
Calling out my name I see you there
This frozen cold
It's isn't fair
How much pride will I spare
We both are seething
[chorus]
All I know is to act now and hold on
This one's the real one
Just calm down
Don't look back
This is what we never had
I never felt so alive 'til I saw blue eyes
Until now it wasn't hard to leave
I'm wanting more
[end chorus]
Everyone around but still alone
Try to grasp
Losing the flow
Use a single emotion
You left me totally motionless
So quick, so soft
Like a theif in the night
Came here and changed my life
Everyday the same
Just sit and stare
Will I see you in the air
These sperate lives
We don't share
Again I'm leaving
[Chorus]
I thought all this time
I would end up alone
Beside you I lay and
Watch you breathing
There's something about you that makes me stand
stillWhen I know you'll take off
You're like a nervous thoroughbred at the gate
Dying to make your break
It's exactly what you fear
I can see it in your eyes
They don't lie
So you run and hide
Surprise, surprise
Life always finds you
Then what do you do
Don't walk away
To play your game, cause life will always find you
Solitaire, hide and seek
You can change your hair and you can change Your
friends every time you shed your skin
But what's within
Never show them what's inside
So when you run you can't leave them blind
It's exactly what you fear
I can see it in your eyes
They don't lie
So you run and hide
Surprise, surprise
Life always finds you
Then what do you do
Don't walk away
To play your game, cause life will always find you
Solitaire, hide and seek
There's something about you
That makes me stand still
Surprise, surprise
Life always finds you
Then what do you do
Don't walk away
To play your game, cause life will always find you
We're more than overwhelmed
By hundreds of hugs and a million good words
We are satisfied
From monday til friday and on sunday we cry
But we like it
From that point of view
So we stay here and bare until dawn everyday
And we stay here and bare everyday
We never ever lie
From ten in the morning
We are honest til nine
We are overcute
We never will manage to be rude only twice
But we like it from
that point of view
So we stay here and bare until dawn everyday
There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love through his indifference
A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died within his silence
And solitaire´s the only game in town
And ev´ry road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him ev´rywhere
He´s playin´ solitaire
A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without sayin´
There was a man
A lonely man
Who would command the hand he´s playin´
And solitaire´s the only game in town
And ev´ry road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him ev´rywhere
He´s playin´ solitaire
And keeping to himself begins to deal
And, still, the king of hearts is well concealed
Another losing game comes to an end
And he deals them out again
And solitaire´s the only game in town
And ev´ry road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him ev´rywhere
(Since you're gone) [8x]
Since your gone I spend each lonely night
Feeling apart from where you are
And the queen of hearts is there
Reminding me that I'm all alone
Just playing solitaire
(Since you're gone) [4x]
Love was just another game for two
I see now that's all it meant to you
And my heart got lost somewhere in the shuffle
Now I'm all alone just playing solitaire
In each romance there's a moment of chance
You gamble to win or to lose
You play to win and you find the playing ends
A game with no rules (just a game for fools)
Now, the joker has the laugh on me
But I played my hand so carelessly
Anytime you want to share that old feeling
I'll be dealing time away with solitaire
Tout est silence
Le jour en transparence
Dans mes draps froisés
Ou toi tu n'es que passé
Rien d'imprévu
Juste un peu deçue
Des airs de violon
Joués par des illusions
On se dit qu'on se rappelle
De nos iles artificielles
Solitaire
Quelque part dans l'univers
Eloignée pour mieux rêver
Tout est désir
Prête à conquérir
Le coeur entrouvert
Que toi tu peux satisfaire
Rien n'es perdu
J'ai toujours survécu
Au jeu de l'absence
Joués par l'indifférence
Oh! mais il y a des jours
Ou j'aurais tellement envie
Des promesses infinies
Solitaire
Quelques part dans l'univers
Eloignée pour me retrouver

There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love through his indifference
A heart that cared, that went unchecked
Until it died in his silence
And Solitaire’s the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself, it’s easy to pretend
He’ll never love again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He’s playing Solitaire
Another day, a lonely day
So much to say that goes unspoken
And through the night, his sleepless nights
His eyes are closed, his heart is broken
And Solitaire’s the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself, it’s easy to pretend
She’s coming back again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He’s playing Solitaire
A little hope, goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying
Solitaireee
And by himself, it’s easy to pretend
He’ll never love again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He’s playing Solitaire
