Drifting Life has led me here A unity of facts and chances That I could not predict
Learning Reality is free From all our vague human ambitions Indifferent to our dreams
Why am I to know what no one knew?
Where is the end? I ask myself Is it only an illusion? And I ask myself Is it all too real? I ask myself What's beyond tomorrow? Then just ask yourself Can you let go of hate?
Twisted We've turned into machines You are not supposed to question Rules by which you live
Answers We're offered every day Uncertainty is not accepted Reason is betrayed
Drifting No matter what you see You are not supposed to question The rules by which you live
Knowing Reality is free When circumstance is not accepted Reason is the key
How should I know all the secrets? All the lies that try to foll me How I can uncover all the truth?
We woke up as men but tonight we'll sleep as killers As we break the cryptic morning with a bullet and a prayer The steel never seemed more cold and agile than now And life never seems less vital and fragile With a heart that's beating louder than my own
I watch a girl they call Kezia I watch a woman that I know My hopes and my own future blindfolded To atone for a sin I didn't care for, but a sin that paid my debts
A sin that fed my children and burned my smiles and cigarettes And no one ever said that hope would be so beautiful And no one ever said I'd have to pull the trigger on her
I can't even still her trembling hands that were locked up by the dutiful and the obligated; Five soldiers forever sedated with the, "No one's responsible" psychological drama of our social justice dribble, dribble, dribble Her tiny steps tell lies about the choice I have to make; (Resurrect a static lifetime starve to death my own mistakes)
Pull the screaming trigger and watch your carcass bleed me dry Or drop the gun and try to shake away the blindfold from your eyes? Drop the gun, drop the gun, drop the gun, drop the gun.
Sin I didn't care for, but a sin that paid my debts A sin that fed my children and burned my smiles and cigarettes Sin I didn't care for, but a sin that paid my debts A sin that fed my children and burned my smiles and cigarettes
After a day turns into a night I will light up my light in the sky Don't shed a tear on the ground I once laid Cause I'll be here
From your tears I'll make a crystal necklace To surround my heart and my chest I'll be up here and walk by your side Day and night
[Refrain:] Look at me Me here among the stars Walking on milky way Part of the eternity Shining bright in the dark blue sky Shining your love - my light Waiting for you to shine by my side Look, I am a star
Meet me in dreamland Come, take my hand I will guide your way Don't be afraid Hold me in your arms never let go And be my own
Just for tonight I'll be in your dreams Then I'll exist only in star streams Remember me when you look at the sky As time goes by
[Refrain:] Look at me Me here among the stars Walking on milky way Part of the eternity Shining bright in the dark blue sky Shining your love - my light Waiting for you to shine by my side Look, I am a star
All those dreams and broken glass. Swept down the sewer with the rest of the trash. Never to be seen again. Now you're makin' a home in a garbage can!!!
But here's a little story that I lived to tell. Hello from the gutter! Hello from our little hell...!
Wasted days, watsed nights. Hypnotized by the city lights! Another king, another queen. Livin' in the shadows so they can't be seen! Remember all the world lies at your feet. And the big apple's rotten, Rotten in the heat.
Hello! Hello! Hello from the gutter. Hello! Hello!
Hello from the gutter!!! Hello! Hello! Hello from the gutter. Hello! Hello! Hello from the gutter...!!!
Gutter child, sweet sixteen. Broadway stars that have never been!!! All those dreams and broken glass, Swept down the sewer with the rest of the trash.
Well here's a little story that we lived to tell. Hello from the gutter! Hello from our little hell...!
Hello from the gutter. Hello from the gutter. Hey!
