lyrics

I am going home
Back to the cleansing fire
Travelling alone
Cutting it close to the wire
All the roads beneath these feet
Seem to be the same
From the houses on every street
People call your name

Love is the law
The law is unjust
It’s a cupful of sand
It’s a mouthful of dust
Love is the law
The judgment is clear
We’ve our backs to the wall
Heartache and tears

All the lies that I have heard
I realise were true
All my secrets and my dreams
Are nothing without you
The wisest of the fools
Can never save us now
No one sets the rules
I’ll make it back somehow

I’m going home, I’m turning the tide
If the past is a dream let’s leave it behind
They’re shutting us down at the close of the day
We’ll go back to our lives, go our separate ways

High above the town
Towers break the shoreline
Time has worn us down
Dreamers dreaming lifelines
Stars begin to fall
The truth too hard to bear
No-one makes the call
There’s trouble everywhere

Love is the law
The law is unjust
It’s a cupful of sand
It’s a mouthful of dust
Love is the law
The judgment is clear
We’ve our backs to the wall
Heartache and tears
I’m headed downtown
I’m cutting ties
I wait for your call
Your bullshit and lies
I’m riding out
I’m pimping my ride
I’ve got nothing to lose
I’ve got nowhere to hide
