City of Angels was burning bright Setting the scene for an LA night standing on the edge of tranquility This was the moment to take in the view shimmering with the red and blue Sun going down at the Sunset Marquee people you knew but never met
Masters and maidens that slipped through the net friends of friends of a certain kind Talk of the town a line in the news In the gallery with a touch of the blues All you need is a six blade knife
It's a long way back It's a long way back to Deptford Town Sometimes it feels like these days will never end the push and pull of how we dance the messages we send
Natures voice unheard amongst bluster and desire no one seems to notice that the flames are getting higher Which way is up no one can agree Keep asking myself where's the sense of harmony
Smoke and heat of a hotel room Songs from the bard like rare perfume Fresh off the shelf now they're gone nothing now will ever be the same Could this be heaven by another name depends what side you're on
If she asks you to go you can't decline putting it down a line at a time Don't move too fast better taking it slow The world didn't start with the ticking of the clock can't get by without a few knocks One by one blow by blow
It's a long way back It's a long way back to Deptford Town There's going to be a problem if we don't see eye to eye Only time will tell before another battle cry take time to reflect take time to consider this For you and me and him and her this life of utter bliss
Another actor another stage Who pays the pipers pay Let's hope he don't get lost Or tries to count the cost
You face the world with quiet contempt was this really what you meant when all is frozen and nothing pure its make or break kill or cure I'm not sure anybody knows The way it is and how it goes
Which way is up no one can agree Liberty Fraternity Equality From New York city to Monterey New Orleans to Frisco Bay On every street in every town out on the highway on with the show so much I just didn't know
So I breathed it in took it down A gentle man with his gracious wife they had their dreams of a perfect life worked the land until the Sun went down they were lovers then in that market town the battle ground had left its legacy no words he spoke of this victory He built a world that was safe and sound life was good in that market town
Take what you need not what you want there's no bars or restaurants No playing in the park no visits to the zoo relax my friend and let things be You have you're pride and honesty None of this was planned
Or so they say But the Sun will shine and the winds will blow this all will pass as well we know Once there was a river now it's a stream Looking back it feels like a dream memories linger in your heart Life feel shot 'cause time flies Take a look through a child's eyes now's the time to make a new start
