Jackson Lyrics

You're on a ride thru the desert

The heat a chorus to a one-note song

On your way to the big house

A sentence longer than your years left to come

There is a soul who calls your name

He lies awake in a place you won't know

He walks the streets in desperation

Oh in your dreams he shakes the house of your soul

He walks the streets in desperation

In a place you'll never know

He walks the streets in desperation

In a place you'll never know

And you know it's true

It's like he never knew

And like a king he's gonna rule

You call a prayer for kingdoms come

To heal the tethers of your love

A spike's been driven in between

Splits a life – kills a dream

You lie awake for the hour

You lie awake for the day

You lie awake for the hour

You lie awake for the day

To break the cycle of excruciating pain

The nightmares that keep you from going insane

Turning against you as you realize

You're in your cell

As your memories die

You're on a ride thru the desert

There's nothing there but the ghost

You have become when the gavel

It came down hard

On your hopes

You lie awake for the hour

You lie awake for the day

You lie awake for the hour

You lie awake for the day
