Rubik's Romance - Nazareth

More complicated than a Rubik’s

Won’t size 'em cause it’s always changing

We walked and talked around in circles

Wasting time I found the truth is undiscovered

The time we’re falling like a spotlight

A play you sang in harmony

And 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

This life’s for giving not for lending

We share it with the understanding

I’ll play the pipe and then you call the tune

Take our places with the dances

Moving round the tables one after the other

The moves we made were shadow-boxing

I brought the punches and you did the same

Baby better if we had a rumble

Than 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

This life’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 of happy ever after

Stepping loud and feeling free

We’ll write another chapter

Living a casino of the heart

Waiting for the moment

Never mind the ending

Playing safe but knowing that

It’s hard to lose a race we didn’t start
