Back In The Business Lyrics by Ted Gärdestad

Blue Virgin Isles

0

[Verse 1]
I'm really glad that I'm alive
I didn't know if I'd survive
I've been too low too long to like it
And had to face the pain to fight it, baby
In the eyes of a sad man
The future world is bound to look tragic
After all—life is magic
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
From the stairs of a jail house
The colors of the rainbow look brighter
After all—I'm a fighter
[Chorus]
I'm back in the business
Ooh, I'm back in the business
[Bridge]
When the nights were long
I had to fight my way
'Till my fear was gone
And I could see the day
Now I'm feeling much better
Thanks for sending your letter
And your postcard
Of Manhattan
From the sky
I get by
[Verse 3]
I've 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
[Pre-Chorus]
From the cliffs by the lighthouse
The navy blue horizon looks brighter
After all—I'm a fighter
[Chorus]
I'm back in the business
Ooh, I'm back in the business
[Post-Chorus]
In the eyes of a sad man
The future world is bound to look tragic
After all—Life is magic
[Outro]
(Back in the business, back in the business
Back in the business, back in the business
Back in the business, back in the business)
