New Direction Lyrics
Out on a limb
Did you see what the cat dragged in?
Take it on the chin
Catching fire on a roof of tinYou've learnt to speak and you're professing
The right to teach us our direction
But I found out on close inspection
True imperfectionI'm looking for a new direction
Where in the world am I?
I took the word the word was resurrection
And then you took me out to climbHigher and higher
Higher and higher
Higher and higher
Kissing the spiresHigher and higher
Higher and higher
Higher and higher
Souls on fireInside of my head
I heard what the good Lord said
"Beware', he said
"If you don't, you might end up dead"You suck the air right out of me
Though you suck you cannot see
That life and living is not free
Though you live, you do not breatheI'm looking for a new direction
Where in the world am I?
I took the word the word was resurrection
And then you took me out to climbHigher and higher
Higher and higher
Higher and higher
Kissing the spiresHigher and higher
Higher and higher
Higher and higher
Souls on fireI have changed
But still my heart remains intact
And true love stays
But will our hearts retain their lack of?No sense and no direction
Who in the world am I?
I took the word the word was resurrection
Then you took me out to climbHigher and higher
Higher and higher
Higher and higher
Kissing the spiresHigher and higher
Higher and higher
Higher and higher
Souls on fireStart confessing
Start confessingAll my evils would be blessed
If to God I did confess
Wipe the slate and see if I
Ate the bread and drank the wine
So as you're leaving I will take possesion
