Lyrics:
Precious cups within the flower
Deadly petals with strange power
Faces shine a deadly smile
Back up on you at your trial
Chill and numbs from
things I should forget
And the sun comes up by and a new day's dawnin'
But nothing's changed for I still love you yet
Mirror mirror on the wall who's
ready for the road less traveled,
Suiting up for my crowning battle,
This test is my own cross to bare,
But I will get there
It's never easy to be
I met my love
By the gasworks wall
I dreamed a dream
By the old canal
I kissed my girl
By the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
the hall
Up against the dark and up against the wall
Why don't you meet me in the bottom baby? Bring your running shoes
their lives
Will never end up the same
That stony fear and hate that words can't articulate
The walls of silence, walls of silence
The walls of silence,
an old canal
Between the towns the desert sands
Filling up with empty cans
Container trains, casinos and canals
[Chorus]
My Grandpa used to tell
open up for me
So brick by brick
I am breaking through these walls
Oh, between you and me
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving giving up
I guess
Dress my friends up just for show
See them as they really are
Put a peephole in my brain
Two New Pence to have a go
I'd like to be a gallery
Put you
through
We're part of a mascaraed
[Chorus]
When we're standing on the water talking to the wall
Making so much matter up, theres no matter at all
Got
The wall collapsed on Wednesday, we chalked it up to fate
Mason's children ran and flew, they ain't never run so fast before
Swore they'd never show their
We were forty miles from Albany,
Forget it, I never shall!
What a terrible storm we had one night
On the E-ri-e Canal.
Chorus:
Oh, the E-ri-e
Please wake up
It's so dark and cold
Please wake up
I feel so alone
And I feel so scared
That you're going away
And I feel so scared
All I
While travelling northwards
On a back country lane
I came on the village
Where first I grew
And stopped to climb up
The hill once again
Looking
bound up my heart
I cannot cling to shadows again
So here on this altar tonight
I lay every dream I've ever dreamt
To burn in the fire He lights
on the wall
Money gettin' tall and tall and tall
I know I'ma ball, mirror on the wall
I could make it all and all and all
I ain't pickin' up a call, mirror
Lord
Distraction costs us how we seek Your face
We offer up our lives to bring You praise
A love the walls cannot contain
You are holy Lord
twelve foot long
And upon his hip was the doubvle-edged sword
And the man was gospel born.
Up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand.
Yeah
Up, up, and away, I been
Feel the walls in my brain and they're cavin' in
Outside those walls, there's a ocean, I can't swim
Especially
Got a sweet black angel
Got a pin up girl
Got a sweet black angel
Up upon my wall
Well, she ain't no singer
And she ain't no star
But she
thought I would never fall
Oh, I got to tell you all
I got my back up against the wall
You know this ain't the first time
I got my back up against
Hello walls, (hello) (hello)
How'd things go for you today?
Don't you miss her
Since she up and walked away?
And I'll bet you dread to spend
I once stood in the darkness I couldn't see a light
Backed up against the wall I built around my life
I'd run out of reasons to ever love again
on his tail
Or work on a rail
With a hammer, hammering spikes
He can ferry a boat on a river
Or peddle a pack on his back
Or work up and down
