Standing At The Gates
Well, the jury found you guilty As you stare into a world that's without love But you keep a wall around you And you wait for help to come down from above
Now the wisdom of your ways has finally caught you up And left you to your fate So you end up like a refugee All alone and standin' at the gates
Now the truth is slowly dawnin' But you don't get any warnin' here within And you swear that you can change your ways You promise that tomorrow you'll begin
But the phases of the moon still come and go And now you've left it much too late So you end up like a refugee All alone and standin' at the gates
All aboard the roundabout Like the biggest fool you've ever seen And all the time you know what's comin' down (It's comin' down)
Up and down on the roundabout While you're sittin' right on dynamite And any fool can see What's comin' down
You can run with the wind You can laugh at the rain and pretend It's just some bad weather There's a storm comin' up And it's headin' your way
Now the spirit doesn't move you You're so empty, you've got nothin' left to give Yes, you know by now that nothin' you have Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Ever learned has taught you how to live
But the phases of the moon still come and go And now you've left it much too late So you end up like a refugee All alone and standin' at the gates
All aboard the roundabout Like the biggest fool you've ever seen And all the time you know what's comin' down (It's comin' down)
Up and down on the roundabout While you're sittin' right on dynamite And any fool can see What's comin' down
You can run with the wind You can laugh at the rain and pretend It's just some bad weather There's a storm comin' up And it's headin' your way
Well, the jury found you guilty As you stare into a world that's without love Yes you keep a wall around you And you wait for help to come down from above
Now the wisdom of your ways Has finally caught you up and left you to your fate So you end up like a refugee All alone and standin' at the gates
Yes, you end up like a refugee All alone and standin' at the gates Yes, you end up like a refugee All alone and standin' at the gates
