lyrics

***********************************
You don't know me and I don't know your real name
But I know about you all the same
As I play the shadow game.
Oh, Lola, come to the window tonight.

I've watched you laughing and I've watched you love.
I've watched while you were not aware,
Like a satellite in the sky above.
Oh, Lola, Lola, come to the window tonight.

I'm a fly on the wall. I'm a crystal ball.
And love slips through my trembling fingers
As I play the shadow game.

You don't know me but I'm sure I should be your man
Although the ring you wear on your left hand
Doesn't fit the plan.
Oh, come to the window tonight,
Lola, don't turn out the light...
Oh, Lola, Lola... Come to the window
As I play the shadow game...

(1988 Nimyonta Music)
