Last lions roar before they're tamed
|
I stood out in the glorious reign
|
Knowing full well I can't go home again
|
Wise Up Ghost
|
|
Wise Up
|
When are you going to rise up?
|
Wise Up Ghost
|
Yield some sighs up
|
Wise Up Ghost
|
|
Go on your merry way now if you must
|
Fool's Gold turns rivets into rust
|
'Til you don't know who to trust
|
Wise Up Ghost
|
|
Wise Up
|
When are you going to rise up?
|
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost)
|
Yield some sighs up (Wise Up Ghost)
|
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost)
|
|
Old woman living in a cardboard shoe
|
Lost so many souls, she don't know what to do
|
So, say your prayers 'cos down the stairs it's 1932
|
Wise Up Ghost
|
|
She revolves around a sparkling pole
|
Stares into the mirrored wall
|
Sees another woman walking through a market stall
|
(She's pulling out the pin)
|
Wise Up Ghost
|
(She's pulling out the pin)
|
|
Wise Up
|
When are you going to rise up?
|
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost)
|
Yield some sighs up (Wise Up Ghost)
|
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost)
|
|
Lost girl found on the radio
|
Down around Larado
|
Go direct to hell you murdering so-and-so
|
Wise Up Ghost
|
|
Trapped within a House of Feathers
|
Sitting in a Shirt of Wire
|
Howling at a Wall of Flowers
|
Saying "Wise Up Ghost"
|
|
Wise Up
|
When are you going to rise up?
|
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost)
|
Yield some sighs up (Wise Up Ghost)
|
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost)
|
|
I walked along an iron pier
|
Where Rose's kisses turned to tears
|
Saltwater rushing over the pebbles under there
|
Wise Up Ghost
|
|
Last sigh of passion
|
Slipped into the room like an assassin
|
Glad tidings we bring
|
For you and your King
|
Wise Up Ghost
|
|
Wise Up
|
When are you going to rise up?
|
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost)
|
Yield some sighs up (Wise Up Ghost)
|
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost)
|
|
Last lions roar before they're tamed
|
I stood out in the glorious reign
|
Knowing full well I can't go home again
|
Wise Up Ghost
|
|
Wise Up
|
When are you going to rise up?
|
Wise Up Ghost
|
Yield some sighs up
|
Wise Up Ghost
