Church - Disenchanted lyrics

rate me

Well look at you, <br />

Hands full of money you always wanted to have<br />

Saying sweet life is a downright drag<br />

Down to the very last seed in the bag<br />

As if it's never gonna end<br />

And the scene is through<br />

Summer slipped under in this neighborhood<br />

I'd like to hold onto you if I could<br />

But now I'm gonna have to let you go for good<br />

My disenchanted friend<br />

<br />

They say that character you play is rising fast<br />

So you get drunk, make a half second jump<br />

And experience it as the past<br />

But this is it, the closer you get<br />

The deeper you go, the tighter the net looks to me<br />

<br />

Do you enjoy the view<br />

They say it makes you dizzy your first time up there<br />

Till you get used to breathing rarefied air<br />

Auditioning for the part of Mr. Despair<br />

Well I know him personally<br />

And this hotel's a zoo<br />

You gotta be some creature to get a room in here<br />

You can live like a king on a throne of tears<br />

It's a mighty long way from the innocent years<br />

And it waits inevitably<br />

(Chorus)<br />

<br />

And I'm asking you<br />

If you think that success is it's own reward<br />

Now then go and see what your persistence has scored<br />

The voice is a'calling and it can't be ignored<br />

You might be underground but you're overinsured<br />

You used to be unknown now you're mapped and explored<br />

You like to be untouched now you're handled and pawed<br />

And it's never gonna end<br />

(Chorus)
