The - Twilight Of A Champion lyrics

rate me

The rising moon faces the sickening sun and the lights in the tower blocks go on, one by one<br />

A big shot, overlooking this black iron skyline, surrounded by his symbols of prosperity<br />

Sits back in his new leather chair, ripped off the back of some unfortunate beast<br />

I'm smiling through my teeth<br />

Anybody can be a millionaire so everybody's gotta try<br />

By the laws of this human jungle, only the heartless will survive<br />

And down there, but for the grace of god, go I<br />

<br />

The smoke and the steam and the broken down dreams<br />

The hope and the hunger, frustration and anger<br />

The love drunken lives driven' through the traffic lights and away from who they are<br />

But I've been thinking of you in this great city of great solitude<br />

<br />

Crossin' the central reservation of my imagination, searchin' for the world I left behind<br />

A shadow hunting shadows of childhood life<br />

It's all I want and all I miss but how can I return to a place that don't exist?<br />

<br />

From Mombassa to Miami, Beirut to Bangladesh, I've flown around the world standing on the wing of a jet<br />

Tryin' to salvage my emotions from the bottom of the oceans<br />

Ye see I sold my soul to pay for my dinner, my stomach grew fatter but my heart grew thinner<br />

I ain't foolin', I'm fallin' (Fallin', fallin'), I wasn't wicked, just weak<br />

I ain't lyin', I'm dyin', crippled by deceit<br />

<br />

Crossin' the central reservation of my imagination, searchin' for the world I left behind<br />

A shadow hunting shadows of childhood life<br />

It's all I want and all I miss but how can I return to a place that don't exist?<br />

Oh these hands that wrote the agony has just begun will be the hand that's on the trigger of this gun, of this
