Lyrics
A heaven, a gateway, a hope Just like a feeling I need, it's no joke And though it hurts me to treat you this way Betrayed by words I've never heard, too hard to say Up, down, turn around Please don't let me hit the ground Tonight, I think I'll walk alone I'll find my soul as I go home Up, down, turn around Please don't let me hit the ground Tonight, I think I'll walk alone I'll find my soul as I go home Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Each way I turn I know I'll always try To break this circle that's been placed around me From time to time I find I've lost some need It was urgent to myself, I do believe Up, down, turn around Please don't let me hit the ground Tonight, I think I'll walk alone I'll find my soul as I go home Up, down, turn around Please don't let me hit the ground Tonight, I think I'll walk alone I'll find my soul as I go home Oh, you've got green eyes Oh, you've got blue eyes Oh, you've got grey eyes Oo, you've got green eyes Oh, you've got blue eyes You've got grey eyes And I've never seen anyone quite like you before No, I've never met anyone quite like you before Bolts from above hurt the people down below People in this world, we have no place to go Bolts from above hurt the people down below People in this world, we have no place to go Bolts from above hurt the people down below People in this world, we have no place to go Bolts from above hurt the people down below People in this world, we have no place to go Oh, it's the last time, oh, it's the last time Oh, it's the last time, oh, it's the last time Oh, it's the last time Oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before Oh, no, I've never met anyone quite like you before
