Forever Tonight Lyrics

So laissez-faire you come on dear tonight

Forever tonight

Forever tonight

Don't shy away from excessive force

You can't outlast what you can't endorse

All right

Forever tonight

American me

Dreamt while fame was only fleeting

So scarce to believe

In a foe more fully beaten

We fade into the light of a renaissance

Your presence haunts me still

And it's waiting in the wings just like an old, familiar feeling

Seems to be the ceiling's caving in on you again

And you're left without a friend, kind companion

Or a lover by your side

Set down for the ages on those long forgotten pages

That were written by the sages when the world was just

A twinkling in your eye

A fiction and a lie

So lies and fears, come, come on down tonight

Forever tonight

Forever tonight

Don't burden me to burn my bed

I'll eat a pomegranate in the land of the dead instead

Forever tonight

Abandoned we meet

In the spaces between sleeping

Soldiers in need

Freed while wounds are slowly weeping

We drift into the light of our own renaissance

Your presence haunts me still

And it's waiting in the wings just like an old, familiar feeling

Seems to be the ceiling's caving in on you again

And you're left without a friend, kind companion

Or a lover by your side

Set down for the ages on those long forgotten pages

That were written by the sages when the world was just

A twinkling in your eye

A fiction or a lie

So come on, money man

Gonna wipe away the voices on the sidewalk

Cuz you can't afford the revenant you're coveting

You took it all back for the sound of crucifixion on the radio

My God

Come on and take me to the fields where I used to roam

I know someone's waiting on the telephone

My soul is calling out to you

And it's waiting in the wings just like an old, familiar feeling

Seems to be the ceiling's caving in on you again

And you're left without a friend, kind companion

Or a lover by your side

Set down for the ages on those long forgotten pages

That were written by the sages when the world was just

A twinkling in your eye

A fiction or a lie

So laissez-faire you come on dear tonight

Forever tonight

Forever tonight
