My Crying (Colour Temple)

Here's the grand illusion

Superstitious man

I can see how it all began

A pocket full of dreams

And a story backwards told

We dream it all in vain

Holding on, holding on

This is my final warning

Here is my news today

This is my crying

For these good old bad days

Kings and queens

And presidents

This is my world

This is my crying

For these good old bad days

Give her away, taking it down

To the poisoned water

This is my world

This is my world

Where's the grand solution

Unimortal world

Any fool can rule the land

When everything has changed

And the dog spelled

Backwards god

Infected till the end

Holding on, holding on

This is my final warning

Here's my news today

This is my crying

For these good old bad days

Kings and queens

And presidents

This is my world

This is my crying

For these good old bad days

Give her away, taking it down

To the poisoned water
