Lyrics RUBIK'S ROMANCE - Nazareth

More complicated than a Rubik's
More sides and colours, it's always changing
We walk and talk around in circles
Wasting time and find the truth is undiscovered
The time we felt it like a spotlight
I played, you sang in harmony
Then the whispers after midnight
Making promises and breaking others
We hide behind our shields
We're hiding what we feel
How long can we go on pretending
Afraid we don't belong
And scared we might be wrong
'Cause love's for giving not for lending
We're sharing with the understanding
I pay the piper then... you call the tune
Take our places with the dancers
Moving round the tables one after the other
The moves we made while shadow boxing
I blocked the punches and... you did the same
Maybe better if we had a rumble
Then crawl into our corners as we recover
We hide behind our shields
We're hiding what we feel
How long can we go on pretending
Afraid we don't belong
And scared we might be wrong
'Cause love's for giving not for lending
Let's take our guard down
Let's start taking chances
We're wasting time to come around
There'll be no guarantee for happy ever after
Stepping out and feeling free
We'll write another chapter
Go out and paint the town red
And live in that casino of the heart
Living for the moment
Never mind the ending
Playing safe but knowing that
It's hard to lose a race we didn't start
