MOCKINGBIRDS Lyrics
|
|
|
|
Devastation... at last finally we meet
|
After all of these years out here on the street
|
I had a feeling you would make yourself known
|
You came along just to claim your place on the throne
|
And I have been overthrown
|
Overthrown
|
|
And I thought if I towed the right lines
|
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
|
|
Devastation my door was left open wide
|
You brought me into your heart then you swallowed my pride
|
I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts
|
I made a note to myself I nearly forgot
|
Now I am overwrought
|
I'm overwrought
|
|
And I thought if I towed the right lines
|
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
|
|
And I thought if I towed the right lines
|
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
|
|
One day this ground will break
|
And open up for me I hope it will I hope it will
|
|
Salutations at last down on my knees
|
I heard the bugle this morn blast reveille
|
Woke from a dream where I was in a terrible realm
|
All my sails were ablaze I was chained to the helm
|
And now I am overwhelmed
|
I'm overwhelmed
|
|
And I thought if I towed the right lines
|
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
|
|
And I thought if I towed the right lines
|
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
|
|
And I thought if I towed the right lines (devastation at last)
|
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
|
|
And I thought if I towed the right lines (devastation at last)
|
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
|
|
And I thought if I towed the right lines (devastation at last)
|
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
|
|
And I thought if I towed the right lines (devastation at last)
|
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
|
