GThe road up to the past has loCng be closed
And what is that path Gto me now
And echo that could not keDep
   CA bloody slab, a bricked up doGor
The crystal clearness of that summer morning
Ttwo lines of sulfate sparkled on the glass
The same thing happened with that echo
As with what happened in my heart                             
I'll take a free ride on a wooden horse
That's going round and round and up and down
Don't ask me to give up my Polish dream
I ought to know just who I am
Honey I'm an expert in having fun
But it seems to me like you've just had a wake
I'll sing all night I'm a loaded gun
The rich rise early and the poor sleep late
Right doors won't open but the wrong one's do
Why waste time waiting just walk on through
Take this pill and wash it down
It'll bring out the beast in you
The road up to the past has long been closed
And what is that past to me now
An echo that just could not keep
From bouncing off a bricked up door

G C

The road up to the past has long be closed

And what is that path to me now

And echo that could not keep

C G

A bloody slab, a bricked up door

The crystal clearness of that summer morning

Ttwo lines of sulfate sparkled on the glass

The same thing happened with that echo

As with what happened in my heart

I'll take a free ride on a wooden horse

That's going round and round and up and down

Don't ask me to give up my Polish dream

I ought to know just who I am

Honey I'm an expert in having fun

But it seems to me like you've just had a wake

I'll sing all night I'm a loaded gun

The rich rise early and the poor sleep late

Right doors won't open but the wrong one's do

Why waste time waiting just walk on through

Take this pill and wash it down

It'll bring out the beast in you

The road up to the past has long been closed

And what is that past to me now

An echo that just could not keep

From bouncing off a bricked up door
