Lyrics

[00:15.700] .
[00:43.700] The streets of persuasion
[00:46.570] Are plated with gold
[00:50.100] Your heart's in the right place,
[00:52.440] But you travel down the wrong road
[00:56.690] Like so many before you
[00:59.949] The gates open wide
[01:02.699] Here come the rising tide
[01:06.130] .
[01:09.760] Let's go out tonight
[01:16.510] There's a mystery underneath the neon light
[01:23.570] Before life and dreams collide
[01:30.450] Cause the truth's gonna come and cut me open wide
[01:37.509] And you can't escape the rising of the tide
[01:42.100] .
[01:45.690] Keep up your appearance; you're joining the choir
[01:52.589] With everybody singing out "Glory, Hallelujah"
[01:59.690] The time came for your solo
[02:02.590] But there was nowhere to hide
[02:05.280] Here come the rising tide
[02:09.219] .
[02:12.400] And the company you keep,
[02:19.900] Well they plan your crucifixion as we speak
[02:25.530] So, baby 'til life and the dream collide
[02:32.650] There's gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lights
[02:40.300] If you can't decipher just who's on your side
[02:46.970] You will not escape the rising of the tide
[02:51.400] .
[03:04.580] Can you tell me brother? Was I deceived, or in denial?
[03:11.400] I was there, in the back of the room, when you testified
[03:15.280] .
[03:21.840] With your pitchfork tongue, you licked your lips and lied
[03:28.150] We're never gonna know how hard you cried
[03:35.650] When you petitioned and your access was denied
[03:42.590] 'Til the venom in your veins is satisfied
[03:49.550] 'Til you suffocate and swallow down the pride
[03:54.790] .
[03:56.610] Well you can't escape
[03:58.670] You can't escape
[04:00.500] Yeah, you can't escape
[04:01.610] You can't escape
[04:03.480] No, you can't escape the rising of the tide
[04:07.920] .
