Ted grdestad lyrics back in the business lyrics

Im really glad that Im alive

I didnt know if Id survive

Ive been too low too long to like it

and had to face the pain to fight it, baby

in the eyes of sad man

the future world is bound to look tragic

after all

life is magic





I met a man with lonely eyes

then suddenly I realized

you gotta live inside a prison

to open wide the gate to wisdom, baby

from the stairs of a jailhouse

the colors of the rainbow look brighter

after all

Im a fighter

Im back in the business

Ooh, Im back in the business





When the nights were long

I had to fight my way

till my fear was gone

and I could see the day

now Im feeling much better

thanks for sending your letter

and your postcard

of Manhattan

from the sky

I get by







Ive been alone and run around

to every joint there is in town

I had to find a face to talk to

another place that I could walk to, baby

from the cliffs by the lighthouse

the navy blue horizon looks brighter

after all

Im a fighter

Im back in the business

Ooh, Im back in the business





In the eyes of a sad man

the future world is bound to look tragic

after all

life is magic





Back in the business...
