Aliennation
The only thing they ask for
Is your heart and soul
If you can't pay the price
They'll take the child that loves you the most
Thought a lot about redemption
Ages before you were born
But where to find this hope my friend
In the blue overtone storm
Take on the freedom of the poor
To seek the richness of its truth
Cause a love for the material world
Brings you closer to the blues
The scream that you will hear
Is the laughter of pain
And the dreams we stop to dream
Turn to memories of shame
I love to sing along
Oh hope I'll never hear you say
Walk me out in the morning dew
While you know it is the end
Take on the freedom of the poor
To seek the richness of its truth
Cause a love for the material world
Brings you closer to the blues
Take the elevator to the 13th floor
Plate says perception and I knock at the door
Seems like a long time, such a long, long time
And I wait, and I wait some more
And I wait, and I wait some more
Would you please try
Try to shine on
Would you please try
Try to shine on
Would you please try to shine on
Oh would you please try to shine on
Is your heart and soul
If you can't pay the price
They'll take the child that loves you the most
Thought a lot about redemption
Ages before you were born
But where to find this hope my friend
In the blue overtone storm
Take on the freedom of the poor
To seek the richness of its truth
Cause a love for the material world
Brings you closer to the blues
The scream that you will hear
Is the laughter of pain
And the dreams we stop to dream
Turn to memories of shame
I love to sing along
Oh hope I'll never hear you say
Walk me out in the morning dew
While you know it is the end
Take on the freedom of the poor
To seek the richness of its truth
Cause a love for the material world
Brings you closer to the blues
Take the elevator to the 13th floor
Plate says perception and I knock at the door
Seems like a long time, such a long, long time
And I wait, and I wait some more
And I wait, and I wait some more
Would you please try
Try to shine on
Would you please try
Try to shine on
Would you please try to shine on
Oh would you please try to shine on
