Scenic Route – Dance With The Devil lyrics

It’s been a long long time since I saw you the way you were
Under the pale blue moon, a reflection is all I heard
A message from a book and a photograph came to me
While I was sitting on a secret so big I could not relieve
Because there’s a story of a girl who was discovered beneath the street
Found in the corner of a subway with blood at her feet
Repetitious boredom and a lack of programs on tv
Rather than talking to her friends or writing a song like me

This story’s grown too long
And the flowing blood is now all gone
The brainwash your God had on you
Is over now you’ll make it through
This story’s grown too long

As I’m driving down the street I realize I got no headlights on
The music’s cranked up and I don’t see the kid start to run
Into the street I slam my foot on to the brakes
The car screeches to a stop, but I realize it’s too late

You’re not about to sell out all your dreams for the money
But what you don’t know is that your time is oncoming
You walk into the corner store the robber wants the money from the drawer
You catch him by surprise and your brains are splattered on the floor

Standing on this bridge I’m going to jump off soon
I’m starring at the stars and the pale blue moon
If I jump my life will come to an end
Said goodbye to all my friends
