The streets of persuasion
|
Are plated with gold
|
Your heart's in the right place,
|
But you travel down the wrong road
|
Like so many before you
|
The gates open wide
|
Here come the rising tide (rising tide)
|
|
Let's go out tonight
|
There's a mystery underneath the neon light
|
Before life and dreams collide
|
Cause the truth's gonna come and cut me open wide
|
And you can't escape the rising of the tide
|
|
Keep up your appearance; you're joining the choir
|
With everybody singing out "Glory, Hallelujah" (Hallelujah)
|
The time came for your solo
|
But there was nowhere to hide
|
Here come the rising tide (rising tide)
|
|
And the company you keep,
|
Well they plan your crucifixion as we speak
|
So, baby 'til life and the dream collide
|
There's gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lights
|
If you can't decipher just who's on your side
|
You will not escape the rising of the tide
|
|
Can you tell me brother? Was I deceived, or in denial?
|
I was there, in the back of the room, when you testified
|
|
With your pitchfork tongue, you licked your lips and lied
|
We're never gonna know how hard you cried
|
When you petitioned and your access was denied
|
'Til the venom in your veins is satisfied
|
'Til you suffocate and swallow down the pride
|
|
Well you can't escape
|
(You can't escape)
|
Yeah, you can't escape
|
(You can't escape)
|
No, you can't escape the rising of the tide
|
