Oh Lord, we were dreaming And the sign at the side of the road pointed to Mars
I didn't understand the meaning of the words she spoke Like a James Bond movie but it looked too real Way above the mountains on a one-way ride Looking for a reason well we won't go there, we won't go there
Now we're under the umbrella of a different sky Where a new storm gathers with the stakes too high But we're standing on the shoulders of a great empire And we ain't so perfect but we won't go there, we won't go there, we won't go there
I don't wanna be where the buildings break And the young bones shatter and the fireman's tears I don't wanna watch but I can't look away, 'cos it could have been you and it could have been me How can you fly when you've got no wings and there's no escape from the burning flames? Oh Lord, it's falling down
I understand the meaning as Vesuivus blows And the Romans staring at the white hot snow Give or take a day before it all came down Try to get inside their heads but it won't compute, won't compute
As you ramble down the streets of an old Pompeii We couldn't help feeling that it shouldn't be here Fifteen hundred years they were digging it up With the seeds all growing and the golden sun, the golden sun, the golden sun
I don't wanna be where the buildings break And the young bones shatter and the firemen die I don't wanna watch but I can't look away, 'cos it could have been you and it could have been me How can you fly when you've got no wings and there's no escape from the burning flames? Oh Lord, it's falling down
Oh Lord, we were dreaming And the sign at the side of the road is burning down, down
In the summer light I saw your face And the summer's born to live
Chasing all the faces in the Northern lights In the shadow of a mountain and the giant ice Well you could feel small but she's standing tall As you throw imagination at the farthest star, the farthest star
How could we be broken when we're all made up Of the finest dust of the Universe? Glowing brightly in the presence of a newborn smile It's a grand illumination you could never describe, never describe, never describe
I don't wanna be where the buildings break And the young bones shatter and the firemen die I don't wanna watch but I can't look away, 'cos it could have been you and it could have been me How can you fly when you've got no wings and there's no escape from the burning flames? Oh Lord, it's falling down
Oh Lord, we were dreaming And there isn't a side of the road anymore Did we drink too much wine, were we chipping away at the good will once left to us many a day? Carelessly drifting like leaves on the water, no rudder to steer us back home
In the summer light I saw your smile And the summer's born to live Well you can't taste the wine And you can't take my hand 'Cos the summer's gone toTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
