Crackin walls inside my head
With a bottle full of rain
I promised to the coaster
I wouldn't tear it up again
Flick a peanut, break a glass
I wish I didn't sleep at Mass
And everything is closin up
And yet again I come in last
I saw it in a dream
It was another time
And everything was blue
Everything was fine
And you were always there
And I could see clear
I was always yours, you were always mine
Rise above it, rise above it, rise above it
(Some chanting in several African languages)
I see her on the ceiling
She's staring down in her gown
I had to make allowances
Between my love and goin out
Now everything is closing up
The last call is well asleep
At gigs I danced with a Blue Nun
Now heartburn is goin cheap
I saw it in a dream
It was another time
Everything was true
Everything sublime
And you were always there
And I could see clear
I was always yours, you were always mine
(More chanting)
(Chanting continues)
I saw it in a dream
It was another time
Everything was true
Everything sublime
And you were always there
And I could see clear
I was always yours, you were always mine
(Rise above, rise above it)
(I wouldn't tear it up again)
