|
We are swimming with the snakes at the bottom of the well |
|
So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell |
|
But we are not snakes and what's more we never will be |
|
And if we stay swimming here forever we will never be free |
|
I heard them ringing the bells in heaven and hell |
|
They got a secret they're getting ready to tell |
|
Falling from the sky, it's calling from the graves |
|
Open your eyes, boy, |
|
I think we are saved |
|
Open your eyes, boy, |
|
I think we are saved |
|
Let's take a walk on the bridge right over this mess |
|
Don't need to tell me a thing, baby we've already confessed |
|
And I raised my voice to the air and we were blessed |
|
It's hard to give it's hard to get |
|
But everybody needs a little forgiveness |
|
We are calling for him tonight on this thin phone line |
|
As usual we're having ourselves one hell of a time |
|
And the planes keep flying right over our heads |
|
No matter how loud we shout, hey, hey, hey |
|
And we keep waving and waving our arms in the air |
|
But we're all tired out |
|
I heard somebody sayin', "Today's the day" |
|
A big old hurricane she's blowing our way |
|
Knocking over the buildings killing all the light |
|
Open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night |
|
Oh open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night |
|
Let's take a walk on the bridge right over this mess |
|
Don't need to tell me a thing, baby we've already confessed |
|
And I raised my voice to the air and we were blessed |
|
It's hard to give, it's hard to get, it's hard to get a little bit |
|
But still |
|
I think it's the best bet, hey yeah |
|
Hard to give, |
|
I'm never gonna forget |
|
Everybody needs a little forgiveness |
|
Everybody needs a little forgiveness |
