Sam Roberts - The Gate lyrics
Over land, I traveled time and space and quicksand And for sixty days I knew no other road And through the maelstrom, we turned in time with the kick drum I was swallowed and twisted and spit out on a coast And in this place there stands a gate that leads to the heart of the city And I've spent seven years and a sea of fears in this broken mirror of a city Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city Sweet sunlight, I can see it in my mind's eye And I remembe feeling alright And I saw black clouds and Turin shrouds and it smelled of a faded empire It's all concrete and steel, we're asleep at the wheel And the mayor's just a gun for hire Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city Listen to the sound there's a time bomb ticking in the city I've heard the song the morning sings Outside the gate is everything Let in the light! Let in the light! Streetwalker said to me she has no need for history She has the key, she has the key Sweet sunlight, I can see it in my mind's eye Let in the light! Let in the light! Waking up from a dream where I was the stone and you were the stream Chemical City isn't all that you need but it's all that you're getting And they've hidden the key Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city Listen to the sound there's a time bomb ticking in the city Let in the light! Let in the light! I said this place is an unnatural disaster And I'm a visitor here so I asked her: Where are the trees, where are the trees? And she said free yourself from history That is the key! That is the key! Sweet sunlight, I can see it in my mind's eye I see the light! I see the light! The gate is gone now, you better run Can you feel it? There's a heartbeat missing in the city When all the fat cats are hissing at your pity You better run, run run run... |
