Mainstream Songtext
Faith, take me away
As far as you possibly can
Tonight, I′m on my way
Far from your heavenly hands
I was walking on a Friday night, I was sick and warm enough
You were the eyes at the other end of the microscope
I must have landed on somebody's feet
We were flat on our backs at the top of the high street
I was scared of hell before I was even born
John, where have you gone?
They say the river′s getting bad for your health
They say you've left to make your millions in the markets of Hong Kong
I guess the kids will just take care of themselves
I was staring at the holy lights, I was ten years old
You were the voices at the other end of the wilderness
Saying, "John you're a hero, John you′re
A thief and we′ll never forget you But we don't believe in anything that we′ve
Never seen in a picture or in a magazine"
Alright, my Friday night
Is the only thing left to rely on
When you're stuck outside the city
When you′re stuck between the sights
Of the Red Bull and the roadside bomb
Of all the lonely sights that I have seen
This may be the most obscene
Like some Halloween fantasy
Let's never be so far apart again
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Faith, take me away
