Mirror Ball lyrics

Can't forget what happened yesterdayThough my friends say don't look backI can feel it coming through meLike an echoLike a photograph

Here in the conscious world
We place our theories down
Why man must bring us to our knees
Before he sees the weakness of his sinful plan
The power in his hand
Will never touch a friend

Throw your hatred down
Throw your hatred down

Meanwhile in the underworld
The weaknesses are seen
By peasants and presidents
Who plan the counter-scheme
Children in the schoolyard

Fallen angel
Who's your saviour tonight
You're surrounded by these walls and neon lights
Hungry people move like waves behind the beat
Where's the big drum
Where's the feel of body heat
Where's the big drum
Where's the feel of body heat

Peace and love, flying so high
Peace and love, too young to die
Peace and love, now you decide
Stay for the children
You don’t really want to go
Can’t feel it pulling like you did, peace and love...

Peace and love, only a ride
Strength is gone, dying inside
Tell me now, what did you find?
Found love in the people
Livin’ in a sacred land

Looking at the grave
At the scenery around you
Home of the brave
Sometimes they leave you like they found you
Sometimes they worship you
Sometimes they tear your houses down
Sometimes they comfort you
Sometimes they spread your life around

Nothing you can see
That they won't try to give you
Land of the free
Where the legend will outlive you
When you earn their trust

Hey ho away we go
We're on the road to never

Where life's a joy for girls and boys
And only will get better

Hey ho away we go
We're on the road to never

Romeo and Juliet
The doctor and his case
Without a plan they left the van
And there were laid to waste

Hey ho away we go
We're on the road to never

The priest was there with sandy hair
Religion by his side

I'm an accident
I was driving way too fast
Couldn't stop though
So I let the moment last
I'm for rollin'
I'm for tossin' in my sleep
It's not guilt though
It's not the company I keep

People my age
They don't do the things I do
They go somehwere
While I run away with you
I got my friends
And I got my children too
I got her love
She's got my love too

I can't hear you

Saw your friend working in this hotel
Says he used to know you when
And your dreams
Lucky as they seemed
They all turned their back on him
Truth be known

Truth be known
Way I feel tonight
Living in this back street town
'Bout my dreams
They all seem to fade
As soon as I put my money down
Truth be known

When the fire that once was your friend
Burns your fingers to the bone

The fruit of love was in the future
Around the corner and over the hill
The act of love was slowly pounding
Slowly pounding
Slowly pounding

The holy war was slowly building
Heroes leaving for the great crusade
Seek reward in the ever after
Ever after
Ever after

Don't wanna have to lose you baby
Don't want to have to take you back
You know I'll never lose you baby
Abuse you baby

Across the plain flew the lone grey rider
Leather bang pounding on his back
Above the clouds the moon was climbing higher
A pack of wolves wanted their money back

With folded arms the chief stood watching
Painted braves slipped down the hill
In his ears the spirit talking
As they closed in
For an easy kill

At the house the door was wide open
Wind blew curtains off the rod

There's a place called Downtown
Where the hippies all go
And they dance the charleston
And they do the limbo
Yeah the hippies all go there
'Cause they want to be seen
It's like a room full of pictures
It's like a psychedelic dream

Downtown
Let's go downtown
Downtown at night
Downtown
Let's have a party
Downtown at night

Yeah it's right around the corner
Up and down the hill
