Oysterband - Walking Down The Road With You lyrics

I am your constant companion, tempter of the strong Seducing you with hope and telling you there's nothing wrong I lead you down dark alleys from which there's no return Throw you in the fire and then I watch you burn You wrestle with your conscience because you think it's real It's my dreams that lead you on, my schemes that turn the wheel You cannot change direction, it's bred into your bone Wherever you are going, well, you'll never walk alone 'Cos I, oh I, oh I, I am the ghost of things to come And I'm walking down the road with you Walking down the road with you And I'm walking down the road with you Walking down the road with you I am the circus master of every secret fear Those caged-up desires you've hidden down the years It's me that cracks the whip and it's me that keeps the keys And when the show begins I'll set the tigers free 'Cos I, oh I, oh I, I am the ghost of things to come And I'm walking down the road with you Walking down the road with you And I'm walking down the road with you Walking down the road with you Do you get a sense of history repeating? Have you made the same mistakes again? Do you see me smiling in the bathroom mirror? - It's a greeting from the beast within..... Take a look around the world at all your silver screens New life & new d**h, let me show you what it means I see you watch the razor from the corner of your eye Come on, my brother, let you best friend see you smile 'Cos I, oh I, oh I, I am the ghost of things to come And I'm walking down the road with you Walking down the road with you I'm walking down the road with you I'm gonna help you push on through And I'm walking down the road with you Walking down the road with you I'm gonna help you push on through Walking down the road, walking down the road Walking down the road with you Even though you might not want me to I'm walking down the road, walking down the road Walking down the road with you
