Starside Casino Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake me up when the world dies,
And everyone is gone,
I've had enough of all the white lies,
Will we ever write our wrongs,
Stand in line at the entrance,
But they're all sold out,
Take your time to hurry up,
You ask what is it all about,

Oh you talk like you used to shout,



Oh you walk like you used to run,
And I don't see you behind those eyes anymore,
And I don't see you behind those eyes anymore,

Just keep breathing and don't look down,
We're almost to the top of this ladder to somewhere,
Just keep breathing and don't look down,
We're almost to the top of this ladder to somewhere,
Keep believing you will hear the sound,
Here to call the elevator to elsewhere,
Here to call the elevator to elsewhere,
Here to call the elevator to elsewhere,

When the time has finally come,
That is if it ever does,
I'll be right here where I began,
I'll finish where I started from,
The beaten trail under my feet,
As long as it ever was,
Take your time to hurry up,
You're asking what have I done,

Oh you talk like you used to shout,
Oh you walk like you used to run,
And I don't see you behind those eyes anymore,
No I don't see you behind those eyes anymore,

Just keep breathing and don't look down,
We're almost to the top of this ladder to somewhere,
Just keep breathing and don't look down,
We're almost to the top of this ladder to somewhere,
Keep believing you will hear the sound,
Here to call the elevator to elsewhere,
Here to call the elevator to elsewhere,
Here to call the elevator to elsewhere,

Wake me up
