They’d say
In a world that’s gonna run the pages anyway
You know their eyes are coming out
You know their eyes are coming out
So what do you say?
Another addition
Low and behold
Just to say
I won’t let you, I won’t let you
I won’t let you, I won’t let you
Down no, no, no
Shoot for the stars
They’d say
In a world that’s gonna run the pages anyway
You know their eyes are coming out
You know their eyes are coming out
So what do you say?
Another addition
Low and behold
The latest addiction
Just to say
That I won’t let you, I won’t let you
I won’t let you, I won’t let you
Down no, no
Cause it's in your eyes that you’re going stay awhile
It’s in your eyes that you’re going to stay awhile
It’s no surprise that you’re coming to stay all night
So come on, don’t let me down
Just leave me down dancing
Yeah, we all talk
And we all scream
And we paint the walls in shades of black
As sand runs down the hourglass
As sand runs down the hourglass
In a position
To stand tall
With superstitious apparitions
On a mission to send me
To Venus or Mars
But don’t look too far
It’s a thin line I’m walking
To stop staring through bars
Cause it's in your eyes that you’re going stay awhile
It’s in your eyes that you’re going to stay awhile
It’s no surprise that you’re coming to stay all night
So come on, don’t let me down
Just leave me down dancing
Well it’s times like these I’d live
Over and over again
Well it’s times like these I’d live
Over and over again
Well it’s times like these I’d live
Over and over and over again
Well it’s times like these I’d live
Over and over and oh
But you can’t go back
It’s a long way home
So win big
Well it’s times like these I’d live
Over and over and over again
And I’ve see that fire in your eyes
Man I’ve been there before
Through all these years and days
I don’t feel the ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch
Changes that should be changing me
Been trying hard to remember where I buried the dream
Out in these badlands
Waiting for somebody to see
Come with me
Take my hand
Hold me close
We’re a long way home

And I’ve seen that fire in your eyes
I've witnessed your passion
Man I’ve been there before
I've experienced that as well
Through all these years and days
Over an extended period
I don’t feel the ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch
I don't feel the changes
Changes that should be changing me
Changes that should impact me
Been trying hard to remember where I buried the dream
I've been working hard to remember my aspirations
Out in these badlands
In this desolate place
Waiting for somebody to see
Waiting for someone to notice
Come with me
Join me
Take my hand
Allow me to guide you
Hold me close
Embrace me tightly
We’re a long way home
We have a long journey ahead
