The Rising Tide

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
The streets of persuasionAre plated with goldYour heart's the right placeBut you traveled down the wrong roadLike so many before youThe gates open wideHere come the rising tideLet's go out tonightThere's a mystery underneath the neon lightBefore life and the dream collideCause the truth gonna come and cut me open wideAnd you can't escape the rising of the tideKeep up your appearanceYou're joining the choirWith everybody singing out Glory, HallelujahThe time came for your soloBut there was nowhere to hideHere come the rising tideAnd the company you keepWell, they plan your crucifixion as we speakSo baby, 'till life and the dream collideThere's gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lightsIf you can't decide for just who's on your sideYou and I escape the rising of the tideCan you tell me how was I deceived or in denial?I was there in the back of the room when you touched the fireWith your pitchfork tongueYou licked your lips and liedWe're never gonna know how hard you criedWhen you petitioned and your access was denied'Till the venom in your veins is satisfied'Till you suffocate and swallow down your prideWhere you can't escape (you can't escape)Where you can't escape (you can't escape)Where you can't escape the rising of the tide
