lyrics
One More Time
January 1, 1991
Staring from the rooftop
Down below at passing cars
Cause the city lights are oh so bright
You never see the stars
It seems it’s always on my mind Though sometimes not at all Somedays I smile and shake my head Somedays I’m screaming at the wall
You can say anything you want I’m a nostalgic senseless child But these feelings deep inside my heart Won’t change even for awhile
Sometimes I want to scream and shout In anger vent my pain at you But really in all honesty What good would that do
There was a place I used to go So many dreams inside walls so old And now it’s crumbled to the ground The good wood to be sold
And what about the beauty here Now owned by unknown men Though all my blood and soul live there I won’t trespass again
Is this anger without a cause And will it ever end While the money is pilling up You only think of selling out again
When the dozers have scarred the land And the dreams have choked in dust A memory can be a painful thing When reality is crushed
So I sing this song…One More Time.
It seems it’s always on my mind Though sometimes not at all Somedays I smile and shake my head Somedays I’m screaming at the wall
You can say anything you want I’m a nostalgic senseless child But these feelings deep inside my heart Won’t change even for awhile
Sometimes I want to scream and shout In anger vent my pain at you But really in all honesty What good would that do
There was a place I used to go So many dreams inside walls so old And now it’s crumbled to the ground The good wood to be sold
And what about the beauty here Now owned by unknown men Though all my blood and soul live there I won’t trespass again
Is this anger without a cause And will it ever end While the money is pilling up You only think of selling out again
When the dozers have scarred the land And the dreams have choked in dust A memory can be a painful thing When reality is crushed
So I sing this song…One More Time.
