Lyrics for 'Twilight Of A Champion' by 'The'
The Rising Moon Faces The Sickening Sun,
As The Lights In The Tower Blocks Go On, One By One,
A Big Shot, Overlooking This Black Iron Skyline--
Surrounded By His Symbols Of Prosperity--
Sits Back In His New Leather Chair
Ripped Off The Back Of Some Unfortunate Beast.
I'm Smiling Through My Teeth.
Anybody Can Be A Millionaire,
So Everybody's Gotta Try
But By The Laws Of This Human Jungle
Only The Heartless Will Survive.
& Down There--but For The Grace Of God
--go I.
The Smoke & The Steam, & The Broken Down Dreams,
The Hope, & The Hunger, Frustration & Anger,
The Little Drunken Lives,--
Driven' Through The Traffic Lights
& Away From Who They Are!
But I've Been Thinking Of You--
In This Great City Of Great Solitude.
Crossin' The Central Reservation, Of My Imagination,
Searchin' For The World I...left Behind.
A Shadow Hunting Shadows Of Childhood Life.
It's All I Want--& All I Miss--
But How Can I Return, To A Place That Don't Exist!!
From Mombosa To Miami, Beiruit To Bangladesh,
I've Flown Around The World Standing
On The Wing Of A Jet.
Tryin' To Salvage My Emotions
From The Bottom Of The Oceans--
Y'see I Sold My Soul, To Pay For My Dinner.
My Stomach Grew Fatter, But My Heart Grew Thinner,
I Ain't Foolin' I'm Fallin', I Wasn't Wicked, Just Weak,
I Ain't Lyin' I'm Dyin', Crippled By Deceit--
Oh The Hand That Wrote The Agony
Has Just Begun--
Will Be The Hand That Pulls The Trigger
--of This Gun!!!
