X Marks The Spot
Your rating:
(Intro: Preacher) I was in a really dark place, I even thought of packing it in But I just could not bring myself to do it. I met an old friend that I had a real connection with And he saw my despair. He asked me if I wanted to play with him And as we played I felt slowly but surely Rock and Roll grab me by the neck, and I wept. (Verse) You are a man of impeccable taste And you know when the X marks the spot We all need a map for the trail of your thought Where to go, where the X marks the spot You seem to have a misgiving, hell yeah, You make a living Don't add bricks to what we're heaving We would so much rather enjoy beach, beer and a fire You think something somewhere has a copyright for the world And you've signed where the X marks the spot You join a cult, fill the void that you've got Deep within where the X marks the spot (Chorus) There you stand, talk and holler how dark were all your colors When you paint another sunrise, you leave out the sun Birds like you fly straight to heaven, heaven Or they slowly float away (How well do you know those you're calling your own?) (I mean, come on dude!) X marks the spot Your starving soul in your house of skin and bone You're an island, the X marks the spot (Preacher) Testify children! Testify! (Chorus x2) There you stand, talk and holler how dark were all your colors When you paint another sunrise, you leave out the sun Birds like you fly straight to heaven, heaven Or they slowly float away (Preacher) Rock and Roll allowed me to join this band There was a period of time where I hadn't exactly lost my soul, I just didn't know where I had put it And I ended up in some very dark places and some dire circumstances Now let me tell you children, I was trying to fill a void in my heart To fill that void I denied what I always wanted Success, prosperity, the admiration I wanted as a player I got to play some big shows and travel the world from end to end In the midst of it all I had a yearning in my heart A yearning in my heart for rock and roll I was told to join this band, And I was surrounded by good folks, Who were servants of the rock and roll, who passed on the love. I'll testify! The fear was in me, I could swear I saw my beating heart through my shirt (Verse) You are a circus, but where is the clown? There's no map, still the X marks the spot (Chorus) There you stand, talk and holler how dark were all your colors When you paint another sunrise, you leave out the sun Birds like you fly straight to heaven, heaven Or they slowly float away Into the night with senior John Barleycorn Ayayay Heaven, heaven, or they float slowly away (Preacher) Now Children, are you ready to spread the word? Everybody sing hey yo! Everybody sing woah ohh! Everybody sing hey! hey! Woah! Woah! Hey! Hey! Huh? (Chorus x2) Birds like you fly straight to heaven, heaven Or they slowly float away (Preacher) And the funny thing was, I was like a spiritual baby Running around with diapers on, where the X marks the spot I had given my life to rock and roll, and I still wasn't sure Was there rock and roll? Is it real?
