to see the spirits rise

out tonight to watch them do their thing

if you're coming out with big plans

to find some paradise

and some went back

they couldn't face the black

and they're going back today with their personal things

i couldn't go back

i didn't have the knack

so i'll be staying on with my personal things

yeah, i'll be staying on with my personal things

and they all it a life he lives that's they guy next door

life on the mighty brick tiers
