lyrics

The king of dreams- and the angel of actualization-
they sat down- and said they had to have a conversation-
she’d crossed the tracks- and there was no point in waiting-
and in the black house on the other side of satan-
she was singing - she was singing- she was singing-
Ohhhhhh......

You’ve gotta let go now- you’ve gotta let go- You’ve gotta let go now-
you’ve gotta let go-

I said goodbye- to all my gold platform pipedreams- put down the phonecall to my greatest fantasies- they weren’t what they seemed- Now I’ve seen behind the curtain- I’ve been behind the scenes- and it don’t look at all like what I wanted it to be- The crossroads keep on coming on- how bigs my cross to bear- I stand in the middle of the road and all my wishes start to wear.....

So I dance under the sun- and down the tracks- and toss my hair- make believe both to myself and to the world that I don’t care-

All of these people push me down- but im in the sky tethered- look at me now- I can see the rest of the road- see where they want us to go- Im up here floating- golden exposed


Are you ready to let go now- are you ready to watch it all fall down-Are you ready to let go ready to watch it all fall down-

Once your ready to give it all up- they’ll give you the crown

The king of dreams- and the angel of actualization- They stood up and they headed towards the station
