At night they would go walking'Til the breaking of the dayThe morning is for sleepingThrough the dark streets they go searchingTo see God in their own waySave the night time for your weepingYour weeping Singing lalalalalalalalaiyAnd the night over London lay So we rode down to the riverWhere Victorian ghosts prayFor their curses to be brokenWe go underneath the archesWhere the witches are and they sayThere are ghost towns in the oceanThe ocean Singing lalalalalalalalaiyAnd the night over London lay God is in the housesAnd God is in my headAnd all the cemeteries of LondonI see God come in my gardenBut I don't know what He saidFor my heart, it wasn't openNot open Singing lalalalalalalalaiyAnd the night over London lay Singing lalalalalalalalaiyThere's no light over London today

Those who are dead are not deadThey're just living in my headAnd since I fell for that spellI am living there as well, oh Time is so shortAnd I'm sureThere must be something more Those who are dead are not deadThey're just living in my head, ohAnd since I fell for that spellI am living there as well Time is so shortAnd I'm sureThere must be something more You thought you might be a ghostYou thought you might be a ghostYou didn't get to heaven but you made it closeYou didn't get to heaven but you made it close You thought you might be a ghostYou thought you might be a ghostYou didn't get to heaven but you made it closeYou didn't get to heaven but you, oh, oh Those who are dead are not deadThey're just living in my head

Just because I'm losingDoesn't mean I'm lostDoesn't mean I'll stopDoesn't mean I'm across Just because I'm hurtingDoesn't mean I'm hurtDoesn't mean I didn't get what I deservedNo better or no worse I just got lost!Every river that I tried to crossEvery door I ever tried was lockedOh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off You might be a big fishIn a little pondDoesn't mean you've won'Cause along may comeA bigger one And you'll be lost!Every river that you tried to crossEvery gun you ever held went offOh, and I'm just waiting 'til the firing's stoppedOh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears offOh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off

Lovers, keep on the road you're onRunners until the race is runSoldiers, you've got to soldier onSometimes even the right is wrong They are turning my head outTo see what I'm all aboutKeeping my head downTo see what it feels like nowBut I have no doubtOne day, we're going to get out Tonight, maybe we're gonna runDreaming of the Osaka sunOhohohoh ohohohoh ohDreaming of when the morning comes They are turning my head outTo see what I'm all aboutKeeping my head down To see what it feels like nowBut I have no doubtOne day, the sun will come out

When it started, we had high hopesNow my back's on the line, my back's on the ropesWhen it started, we were alrightBut night makes a fool of us in the daylight There we were dying of frustrationSinging, "Lord lead me not into temptation"But it's not easy when she turns you onSin, stay gone If you'd only, if you'd only say yesWhether you will's anybody's guessGod, only God knows I'm trying my bestBut I'm just so tired of this loneliness So, up they picked me by the big toe I was held from the rooftop, then they let goDizzily screaming, "Let the windows down"As I crawl to the ground If you'd only, if you'd only say yesWhether you will's anybody's guessGod, only God knows she won't let me restBut I'm just so tired of this lonelinessI've become so tired of this loneliness

I used to rule the worldSeas would rise when I gave the wordNow in the morning I sleep aloneSweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the diceFeel the fear in my enemy's eyesListen as the crowd would sing"Now the old king is dead, long live the king" One minute I held the keyNext the walls were closed on meAnd I discovered that my castles standUpon pillars of salt and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringingRoman cavalry choirs are singingBe my mirror, my sword and shieldMy missionaries in a foreign fieldFor some reason I can't explainOnce you'd gone there was neverNever an honest wordAnd that was when I ruled the world It was a wicked and wild windBlew down the doors to let me inShattered windows and the sound of drumsPeople couldn't believe what I'd become Revolutionaries waitFor my head on a silver plateJust a puppet on a lonely stringOh, who would ever want to be king? I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringingRoman cavalry choirs are singingBe my mirror, my sword and shieldMy missionaries in a foreign fieldFor some reason I can't explainI know St. Peter won't call my nameNever an honest wordBut that was when I ruled the world Ohh... Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringingRoman cavalry choirs are singingBe my mirror, my sword and shieldMy missionaries in a foreign fieldFor some reason I can't explainI know St. Peter won't call my nameNever an honest wordBut that was when I ruled the world

It was a long and dark DecemberFrom the rooftops I rememberThere was snow, white snowClearly I rememberFrom the windows they were watchingWhile we froze, down belowWhen the future's architecturedBy a carnival of idiots on show You'd better lie lowIf you love me, won't you let me know It was a long and dark DecemberWhen the banks became cathedralsAnd a fox became GodPriests clutched onto BiblesHollowed out to fit their riflesAnd a cross was held aloftBury me in armourWhen I'm dead and hit the groundMy nerves are poles that unfrozeAnd if you love me, won't you let me know I don't want to be a soldierWho the captain of some sinking shipWould stow, far belowSo if you love me, why'd you let me go? I took my love down to Violet HillThere we sat in snowAll that time she was silent stillSaid if you love me, won't you let me know?If you love me, won't you let me know?

They were sittingThey were sitting in the strawberry swingEvery moment was so precious They were sittingThey were talking in the strawberry swingEverybody was for fightingWouldn't want to waste a thing Cold cold water, bring me 'roundNow my feet won't touch the groundCold cold water, whatcha say?It's such, it's such a perfect dayIt's such a perfect day I rememberWe were walking up to strawberry swingI can't wait 'til the morningWouldn't want to change a thing People moving all the timeInside a perfectly straight lineDon't you wanna just curve away?And it's such, it's such a perfect dayIt's such a perfect day Ahh... Now the sky could be blueI don't mindWithout you, it's a waste of time Could be blueI don't mindWithout you, it's a waste of time Now the sky could be blueCould be greyWithout you, I'm just miles away Now the sky could be blueI don't mindWithout you, it's a waste of time

All winter, we got carriedAway over on the rooftops, let's get marriedAll summer, we just hurriedSo come over, just be patient and don't worrySo come over, just be patient and don't worry So come over, just be patient and don't worryAnd don't worry No, I don't wanna battle from beginning to endI don't want a cycle of recycled revengeI don't wanna follow Death and all of his friends No, I don't want to battle from beginning to endI don't want a cycle of recycled revengeI don't wanna follow Death and all of his friends
