lyrics

Sit right back, don’t say a word
It’s me you’re gonna see, knock you down to your knees
You’ll shine like a star for a while
Just before that scenes comes along and let me in
Opens up and let us in

Deep within the wall you hid
A misfit with a dream
Never looks like just the way it seems
The seminary never had a chance
Just another bridge built upon a dream with empty sins
You could never believe in

As you turn around and your father’s gone
Should have known this time wouldn’t be the last
To see where I stand in your organized mess
Did I pass the test?

Sit right back, don’t say a word
It’s me you’re gonna see, knock you down to your knees
You’ll shine like a star for a while
Just before that scenes comes along and let me in
Opens up and let us in

As you turn around and your father’s gone
Should have known this time wouldn’t be the last
To see where I stand in your organized mess
Did I pass the test?
