So laissez-faire you come on dear tonight
Forever tonight
Forever tonight
Don't shy away from excessive force
You can't outlast what you can't endorse
All right
Forever tonight
American me
Dreamt while fame was only fleeting
Yet scarcely believe
In a foe more fully beaten
We fade into the light of a renaissance
Your presence haunts me still
And it's waiting in the wings just like an old, familiar feeling
Seems to be the ceiling's caving in on you again
And you're left without a friend, kind companion
Or a lover by your side
Set down for the ages on those long forgotten pages
Written by the sages when the world was just
A twinkling in your eye
A fiction and a lie
So lies and fears, come, come on down tonight
Forever tonight
Forever tonight
Don't burden me to burn my bed
I'll eat a pomegranate in the land of the dead instead
Forever tonight
Abandoned we meet
In the spaces between sleeping
Soldiers in need
Freed while wounds are slowly weeping
We drift into the light of our own renaissance
Your presence haunts me still
And it's waiting in the wings just like an old, familiar feeling
Seems to be the ceiling's caving in on you again
And you're left without a friend, kind companion
Or a lover by your side
Set down for the ages on those long forgotten pages
Written by the sages when the world was just
A twinkling in your eye
A fiction or a lie
So come on, money man
Gonna wipe away the voices on the sidewalk
Cuz you can't afford the revenant you're coveting
You took it all back for the sound of crucifixion on the radio
My God
Come on and take me to the fields where I used to roam
I know someone's waiting on the telephone
My soul is calling out to you
And it's waiting in the wings just like an old, familiar feeling
Seems to be the ceiling's caving in on you again
And you're left without a friend, kind companion
Or a lover by your side
Set down for the ages on those long forgotten pages
Written by the sages when the world was just
A twinkling in your eye
A fiction or a lie
So laissez-faire you come on dear tonight
Forever tonight
Forever tonight
