Phantom Glow

Phantom Glow

I cannot help you
You're too far gone to see
Maybe there's someone
Closer to you than me
You know that I love you but
But you want him more than me
So why have you chosen
The Devil over me?

So many dreams are shattered
And broken indeed
Some like to be battered
And some to be free
I know this is too late
It's just too clear to see
Setting out to expand your mind
Now you're confined to misery

Ah, the stars shine bright
With a phantom glow
Funny it's the falling stars
That makes us watch the show

A Minstrel gone before his time
Sang with a feeling oh-so Sublime
A strumming wizard Voodoo Child
When the wind cried Jimi I cried I smiled
A kid named Kurt came as he was
And then he left us Memoria
The Lizard king could do anything
If he were here, Mojo Rising Rising!

Still, the stars shine bright
With a phantom glow
But it's the falling stars
That makes us watch the show
Burn your candle bright!
With a phantom glow
And when the wick is life
How quickly life can go

Here's your final curtain call
Another taste of living
Tunnel light no longer nearer
Here's your gift surprise forgiving
Count your blessings dear, my friend
You walk away with winnings
The losers push the daisies high
But you were taxed for sinning

A Minstrel gone before his time
Sang with a feeling oh-so Sublime
A strumming wizard Voodoo Child
When the wind cried Jimi I cried I smiled
A kid named Kurt came as he was
And then he left us Memoria
The Lizard king could do anything
If he were here, Mojo Rising! Rising!

Ah the stars shine bright
With a phantom glow
Funny it's the falling stars
That makes us watch the show

Still, the stars shine bright
With a phantom glow
But it's the falling stars
That makes us watch the show

Burn your candle bright!
With a phantom glow
And when the wick is life
How quickly life can go

Oh whoah oh whoah oh
Oh whoah oh whoah oh
Hey yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh no no
