We speak out like children
|
Of the dreams that we chase and pursue
|
These rights we hold precious
|
Say it loud enough
|
And it’ll be true
|
In the company of strangers
|
Wild conversation
|
And the hours go by so fast
|
And you find a lot of wisdom there
|
At the bottom of the glass
|
But when the lights go down
|
And the laughter fades away
|
Somewhere beneath the moon and stars
|
All of life certainties they
|
They all just slip away
|
And you lie down in god’s shadow
|
At the end
|
The end of the day
|
We speak revolution
|
But the future’s already been sold
|
The masters of diffusion
|
Spinning their fine webs into gold
|
And the party’s just begun
|
This matter of resistance
|
Our ship was built to last
|
We¹re sailing out on troubled seas
|
Nail your colors to the mast
|
But when the lights go down
|
And the laughter fades away
|
Somewhere beneath the moon and stars
|
All of life certainties they
|
They all just slip away
|
And you lie down in god’s shadow
|
At the end
|
The end of the day
|
The avenue is so crowded
|
And they¹re turning up the heat
|
And the red lights keep on flashing
|
Out there tonight on bourbon street
|
On bourbon street
|
Wild conversation
|
And the hours go by so fast
|
And you find a lot of wisdom there
|
At the bottom of the glass
|
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
|
But when the lights go down
|
And the laughter fades away
|
Somewhere beneath the moon and stars
|
All of life certainties they
|
They all just slip away
|
And you lie down in god’s shadow
|
At the end
|
The end of the day
|
The end of the day
|
The end of the day
|
The end of the day
|
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
|
Lay down your soul with me
|
Lay down your soul tonight
|
Lay down your soul with me
|
And everything will be alright
|
It’ll be alright |
