Downtown Hurricane

Instant persuasion Pushed me far over the edge It's second nature That will lead me to the end Passenger of old glory A prisoner in steel And I will close my eyes tight To pretend that it's not real So lock it up and lose the key Awaiting recovery From a downtown hurricane A downtown hurricane So far from a mystery If that's the way it has to be And I won't die in vain And I'll fight through the pain Of this downtown hurricane Don't know where we are going Who cares where we have been Ended the story long before It could begin And if I turn away Would you be waiting for me Those two-faced lies Will pass you by In a coma fantasy In a first degree memory Long past recovery In a downtown hurricane In a downtown hurricane So far from a mystery If that's the way it has to be And I won't die in vain And I'll fight through the pain Of a downtown hurricane
