Devastation at last finally we meet After all of these years out here on the street I had a feeling you would make yourself known You came along just to claim your place on the throne And i have been overthrown Overthrown And i thought if i towed the right lines But these mockingbirds won't let me shine Devastation my door was left open wide You brought me into your heart then you swallowed my pride I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts I made a note to myself i nearly forgot Now i am overwrought I'm overwrought And i thought if i towed the right lines But these mockingbirds won't let me shine And i thought if i towed the right lines But these mockingbirds won't let me shine One day this ground will break And open up for me i hope it will i hope it will Salutations at last down on my knees
I heard the bugle this morn blast reveille Woke from a dream where i was in a terrible realm All my sails were ablaze i was chained to the helm And now i am overwhelmed I'm overwhelmed And i thought if i towed the right lines But these mockingbirds won't let me shine And i thought if i towed the right lines But these mockingbirds won't let me shine And i thought if i towed the right lines (devastation at last) But these mockingbirds won't let me shine And i thought if i towed the right lines (devastation at last) But these mockingbirds won't let me shine And i thought if i towed the right lines (devastation at last) But these mockingbirds won't let me shine And i thought if i towed the right lines (devastation at last) But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
