lirik lagu twilight of a champion – the the
the rising moon faces the sickening sun
as the lights in the tower blocks go on, one by one
a big shot, overlooking this black iron skyline–
surrounded by his symbols of prosperity–
sits back in his new leather chair
ripped off the back of some unfortunate beast
i’m smiling through my t–th
anybody can be a millionaire
so everybody’s gotta try
but by the laws of this human jungle
only the heartless will survive
& down there–but for the grace of god
–go i
the smoke & the steam, & the broken down dreams
the hope, & the hunger, frustration & anger
the little drunken lives,–
driven’ through the traffic lights
& away from who they are!
but i’ve been thinking of you–
in this great city of great solitude
crossin’ the central reservation, of my imagination
searchin’ for the world i…left behind
a shadow hunting shadows of childhood life
it’s all i want–& all i miss–
but how can i return, to a place that don’t exist!!
from mombosa to miami, beiruit to bangladesh
i’ve flown around the world standing
on the wing of a jet
tryin’ to salvage my emotions
from the bottom of the oceans–
y’see i sold my soul, to pay for my dinner
my stomach grew fatter, but my heart grew thinner
i ain’t foolin’ i’m fallin’, i wasn’t wicked, just weak
i ain’t lyin’ i’m dyin’, crippled by deceit–
oh the hand that wrote the agony
has just begun–
will be the hand that pulls the trigger
–of this gun!!!
