As Wise as a Serpent
Well we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives awayWhile the spirits come and go without a soundAnd just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a wayFind a way, find a way homeThere's a full moon in the sky, but that don't worry meI don't ever hang my soul out on the lineWhen the witchin' hour comes, I always fly awayFly away, fly away homeThere's a light in the city, that comes down from aboveLeavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a doveDon't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your loveYou've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a doveNow you once asked me why we can't communicateBut it doesn't always pay to tell the truthIf I told you right now, you'd only run awayRun away, run away homeSo, we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives awayWhile the spirits come and go without a soundYeah, just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a wayFind a way, find a way homeThere's a light in the city, that comes down from aboveLeavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a doveDon't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your loveYou've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove Aus Songtexte Mania
