Issue No 140 Desolation Row Lyrics

Utopia it dies, the day it is born
I'm afraid of losing it all
If we speak of it is the memory gone?
Walking up those stairs
Waking up each day with you
Deep in the Garden of Eden
If there's lies we're choking on leaves of ivy.

Chorus:
We live inside these walls
Don't know what's grief or love
But don't forget what you're building for!

Uh, uh, uh, uh
Looking at this house and what I will miss
I'm reminded of things that don't own me
If I stay here now will I always be lonely?
Desolation row, along these roads
Will they take me somewhere?
If your tears dry up, does it mean it's over?

Chorus:
We live inside these walls
Don't know what's grief or loss
But don't forget what you're building for!
We live inside these walls
In life we rise and fall
Don't forget what you built it for!

We live inside these walls
To feel safe from grief or love,
But don't forget to step outside it all!

Chorus:
We live inside these walls
Don't know what's grief or loss
But don't forget what you're building for!
We live inside these walls
In life we rise and fall
Don't forget what you built it for!
