Here come the rising tide (rising tide) (You can't escape) The streets of persuasion Are plated with gold Your heart's in the right place, But you travel down the wrong road Like so many before you The gates open wide Let's go out tonight

Bring the boys back home Don't leave the children on their own, no, no Wrong, do it again Are you feeling okay? There's a man answering, but he keeps hanging up Is there anybody out there?

And I pray they'll find the answer That there's a way to right the wrong And lord while your listen Some troubles of my own I got problems right here at home Fires are burning, up the forests Down along the Amazon There's children starving in Guatemala

We are undercover passion on the run Chasing love up against the sun We are strangers by day, lovers by night Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right Call up, ring once, hang up the phone To let me know you made it home Don't want nothing to be wrong

It's the wall that we are building All the things that we made wrong Don't hate yourself if you walk away You reach, but nothing's there Colors fade from black to grey Time and time again A fate that we deserve There's no escape, we're walking backwards

The wild and the young They all have their dreams They've got to be free The sun never sets For souls on the run So close to the edge And high on the wire They are not wrong They're alive

What is wrong with me? What do I think? I think Invasion of our piracy Afterbirth of a nation Starved without your skeleton key I love you for what I am not I did not want what I have got Blanket acne'd with cigarette burns Use just once and destroy

So long, don't where I'm going But so long, you know you done me wrong So long, because I know I'm not the one Goodbye, please tell me why Goodbye, you always make me cry Oh why, why are you never satisfied So long, I'm all packed up and on my way So

I believe things are going wrong, And the night goes on and on, All your dreams have flown away, And the sun won't shine today The lights go down, One day,I gotta get out of here, I gotta make everything clear I gotta see you.

All my friends have children I have a couple dogs I have a couple songs They say I can't relate And I'm not sure they are wrong All I need is you, a little luck and a couple of dogs
