I've been watching
While you've been coughing
I've been drinking life
While you've been nauseous
And so I drink to health
While you kill yourself
And I've got just one thing
That I can offer
(chorus)
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
I'm not a martyr
I'm not a prohet
And I won't preach to you
But here's a caution
You better understand
That I won't hold your hand
But if it helps you mend
Then I won't stop it
(chorus)
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
Drown if you want
And I'll see you at the bottom
Where you'll crawl on my skin
And put the blame on me
So you don't feel a thing
(chorus)
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
Beauty is what eyes behold
And you burn brighter than most
I chased you thru the midnight streets
To be where I could speak freely
I didn't care what tomorrow held
I felt the world turning only for us
Only bliss now for you and me
Rise up let life's kiss send us reeling
And unlike the times before
From yesterday comes tomorrow
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets and no remorse, come on, come on, come on.
We have more than everything
More than man or machine
More than luck
More than fiction
Higher than any religion
And not like the times before
From yesterday comes tomorrow
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets and no remorse
We'll squeeze the blood out of life
And say goodnight to the silver of old
N'even when wrong we're right
Far beyond the world of diamonds and gold
I've come to realize
Where happiness lies
I want you to know I know
Come on, come on, come on
And not like the times before
From yesterday comes tomorrow
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets and no remorse
Come on, Come on, come on
The original fire has died and gone,
But the riot inside moves on
With a pen in one hand,
Taking us and drugged on kerosine
Headed for a fire would find us something to believe
Wallowing round with dirty hands on wires
Singing songs in dischord choirs
Screaming in brail, no temptress prize
could ever yield anything so real
The original fire has died and gone,
But the riot inside moves on
Golden soldiers born much older
Than they'll ever live to be
Diving into a sea of hands
In a long forgotten city
When the rain falls ever after
The swinging vines hang dead in rafters
Blood rush to your head induces of laughter endlessly
The original fire has died and gone,
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and long gone,
But the riot inside moves on
Can't explain it, it was something to see
Can't contain something ethereal
Ethereal
[Solo]
Can't explain it, it was something to see
Can't contain something so ethereal
Ethereal
The original fire has died and gone,
But the riot inside moves on
