Making my way to the other side I don’t feel alive Hey Lord I’m burning Making my way to the other side I don’t feel alive There’s a stone In your shoe Ah there’s a hole in your pocket and a rip in your shirt Where your heart once grew And your soul Is mine too I get an ache in my side and wet my eyes Every time your blue Ooh and you can’t be moved So I’m going under Ooh you can’t be moved By rain or by thunder Making my way to the other side I don’t feel alive Hey Lord I’m burning Making my way to the other side I don’t feel alive Making my way to the other side I don’t feel alive Hey Lord I’m burning Making my way to the other side I don’t feel alive There’s a light There’s a truth There’s a promise land for every broken man If we just break through Yeah it’s in sight It’s in view And as I swim through the sand I reach out my hand But I’m losing you Ooh and you can’t be moved So I’m going under Ooh you can’t be moved By rain or by thunder Making my way to the other side I don’t feel alive Hey Lord I’m burning Making my way to the other side I don’t feel alive Making my way to the other side I don’t feel alive Hey Lord I’m burning Making my way to the other side I don’t feel alive There’s a stone In your shoe Ah there’s a hole in your pocket and a rip in your shirt Where your heart once grew

Colour, cut it Long as it shows what you wanted You can make it or, fake it easy If you try you might believe it Do you need it when you’re on your own Does it make you feel good that glitter and gold Mirroring the perfect mould ‘Coz we all learn to be what we’re sold So here we go the masquerade Of painted people on your screen display Painting what they wanna show So here we go Here we go oh Here we go ah hee Hey hee Filter, smile You’ve got what you wanted it’s all worthwhile If you make it you can take it easy If they don’t like it just delete it You can hide what you wanna hide But you cannot erase the hurt inside Believe me baby I’ve denied To be just me’s the hardest thing I’ve tried So here we go the masquerade Of painted people on your screen display Painting what they wanna show So here we go Here we go oh Here we go ah hee Hey hee So I guess the problem isn’t in the painting But what the painter’s too afraid to show So go ahead and fix your hair and makeup But don’t you makeup somebody you don’t know So here we go the masquerade Of painted people on your screen display Painting what they wanna show So here we go Here we go oh Here we go ah hee Ah hee Ah hee, oh Ah hee

Smoke and games your life becomes Leave your loving on the run He left a note soaked in wine Put down his hand and caused a scene The wind was howling awful mean How could you leave my love behind Yeah I left you standing at that bar Your rolled up sleeves, your Gretsch guitar I’m gonna make myself a name Ooh, you can’t change your hand when it’s been played Can’t change the tracks underneath the train You play the club, well I play the heart Ooh, and although you drive me crazy, crazy I’ll be driving without you baby, baby ‘Coz I gotta ’52 Cadillac mother You can’t ride it though ‘Coz you gone and screwed me over I gotta ’52 Cadillac mother You can’t ride it though ‘Coz you gone and screwed me over
