ALPHAVILLE - Apollo lyrics

rate me

Show me a place that ain't hell, if there's space, give me room to breathe<br>That's all that I need for this body can't fail<br>And if music be the food of love, play on, give me excess of it<br>Let it all out, please let me out of here<br><br>And I shall rise from the ashes<br>Grow like a rose from the ruins<br>There must be light in the darkness<br>Hope at the end of the night<br>Yes, I've been tryin' all my life to get to heaven<br>But awoke in the eye of the storm<br>But I shall rise from the ashes, grow from the ruins and return<br>Back home<br><br>This is a call from the gaols coming up to the prisoners of pleasure<br>Drunk on the blood of the next generations<br>And I've been through many strange confusions, splitting myself into to many faces<br>Now the mirror is broken, I can see the worms behind<br><br>You may well have your ways of triumph, you may well have your ways of truth<br>Just gimme some room to breathe, that's all that I need<br>Me and my strange friends<br>We all belong to the grand astral body<br>(take my hand and I take you out of here)<br>And there's you behind those legendary curtains<br>Take my hand before you wither in the crowd<br>And I take you out of here<br><br>This is the end of the show, I don't know was I wrong was I right<br>Oh love, I don't know, I wasn't perfect for sure<br>But now I feel like a new born baby, lying in the dew of the morning<br>Laughing at the sky like a brave new apollo<br><br><br>Gold/1994
