One spirit looking for the other
One spirit looking for the other
Caught between a hard
Rolling the dice looking for a seven
Beat the clock
And men just used her innocent ways
To the tick, tick, ticking of time
Caught between a hard
Two souls searching for heaven
To the tick, tick, ticking of time
Caught between a hard
Beat the clock
Two souls searching for heaven
She came looking for a young man's hand
Still the city didn't acquiesce to his demands
Gotta beat the clock
Hard place and a rock
Rolling the dice looking for a seven
Two souls searching for each other
But they found bright lights, endless nights
To the tick, tick, ticking of time
Gotta beat the clock
One spirit looking for the other
Some nights, she cried for pity in the heart of the city
Two souls searching for heaven
Hard place and a rock
Two souls searching for heaven
Rolling the dice looking for a seven
Hard place and a rock, yeah
They lost sight of the reason, they lost count of the days
To the tick, tick, ticking of time
There was something familiar about the smell of her skin
Caught between a hard
Two souls searching for each other
He found it all so pretty, hypnotized by the city
Rolling the dice looking for a seven
He held her tighter and tighter as he danced inside her
Hard place and a rock
She knew from the moment that she let him in
Gotta beat the clock
Too many nights on the ledge, he acquired a knife-edge
Beat the clock
One spirit looking for the other
The city smacked her hands
He came for the glory
He met her one endless night, her eyes had a light
And they were two souls searching for each other
They'd been two souls searching for each other
