Pandora (Live 1981) - Al Stewart

Written by：Al Stewart/Peter White

Pandora comes today

As she dazzles and she dances

You find hope and lose yourself again

She never stays the same

She changes moods like summer thunder

Still you look for sunlight through the rain

And when she laughs you see danger

She can be cold like a stranger

And you can try but you won't change her anyway

And I can see how she makes it

It's a game and still you take it

It's a spell until you break it you must stay

And lose yourself again

Pandora takes the time

To tell you stories of her past

Thet everybody knows just can't be true

The reason and the rhyme

Are twisted 'til you can't believe her

Still you keep pretending that you do

And when you try to get to her

And you tell you've seen through her

She'll just say you never knew her anyway

And you still let her fake it

It's a game and still you take it

It's a spell until you break it you must stay

Lose yourself again

Pandora comes today

The warning signs flash in her eyes

The old familiar feelings rise again

The pleasure and the pain

Are like two colours run together

Still you can't go on too long this way

If it's a game you can't win it

I don't know why you stay in it

You could leave her any minute any day

It should be easy to shake it

But you just can't seem to make it

It's a spell until you break it you must stay

And lose yourself again
