The Gates
Lyrics:
Jangly old music has
Gone black and brown
Toned down
Caught in a spell
Thumping new melodies
Heard about town
Pumped up
Madder than hell
Shredding the air
And uncovering enemies
Bad tempered hymns turn to
Blood tainted elegies
Rage in the air
And you can't turn it down
This is what they can sell
Rousing cacophony
Fit for the role
Dumbed down
Nothing to say
Innocent songs that don't
Poison your soul
Shot down
Taken away
I want you back
Stand and fight
Our friends are calling
Cloud capped towers
And walls are falling
Nothing can stand
In their way now
They've got the look
And the know-how
The mirror's cracked
The gates are open
Girl from the fringes
Who washed up in Quinn's
Numb, dumb
Wrapped up in mystery
Love of my life
Looking out for my sins
Sucked down
Into conspiracy
I want you back
Gate crashing
Street trashing
Fear slashing
Blood gashing
Chord clashing
Face smashing
Crowd rousing
Gas dousing
I want you back
Stand and fight
Our friends are calling
Cloud capped towers
And walls are falling
Nothing can stand
In their way now
They've got the look
And the know-how
The mirror's cracked
The gates are open
I want you back
