| Sweetest angel came down
|
| Took me by the hand
|
| Said I’ve got things to offer you
|
| Help you understand
|
| If the bombs don’t get you
|
| I’ll roll with you tonight
|
| All these things inside your head
|
| You’ve got to get it right
|
| And the band played on Spirits of the city
|
| Were calling out my name
|
| When jealous guys break down and cry
|
| They got themselves to blame
|
| If the bombs don’t get you
|
| Take courage in the night
|
| All those dreams inside your head
|
| You’ve got to get it right
|
| Still the band played on And the band played on The room was getting hotter
|
| And someone hit the light
|
| There was power in the darkness
|
| There was violence in the night
|
| And the golden sons and daughters
|
| They were coming up for air
|
| You were standing with your back to me And a halo round your hair
|
| And the questions there were many
|
| Like how can you survive
|
| When it’s the moment
|
| You’ve been waiting for
|
| This is the moment of your life
|
| So every dreamer pass me by With a fix me Jesus stare in his eyes
|
| I was born to live
|
| I was born to die
|
| With the queen of soul
|
| And the king of light
|
| All the power in the land
|
| Pull me through to the shadowland
|
| I was driven by some hidden hand
|
| It’s the greatest gift of all
|
| And the band played on Shake the ghost within you
|
| Get up, meet up, the rising sun
|
| Cos the old days they’re the dying days
|
| And the new day’s just begun
|
| At the end of every party
|
| Hear the singer sing his song
|
| May his heart stay young forever
|
| And the dream still lingers on I want to die
|
| I want to live again
|
| I want to keep on keeping on They say a coward dies a thousand times
|
| But the brave they die just once
|
| So walk to me, talk to me Hold me now spectre of love
|
| There’s a coolness under fire
|
| And a universal love
|
| And the band played on |
