I know the road is stoney The road's too long We know that man is crazy It's clear the man's too strong You tell me, you tell me System's in a state of shock People lost and burned Answer seems so far away Lessons to be learned You tell me, you tell me Every turn of every page Every chord that I have played In every shade of red or blue Every girl on every street Every breath that tastes so sweet Makes you feel brand new Time and time again The same news has its way As vultures gather for the feast A glorious takeaway You tell me, you tell me When I gathered up to leave You drew me to your side Hand in hand we found a way To cross that great divide You tell me, you tell me Every turn of every page Every journey I have made In every shade of red or blue Every girl on every street Every breath that tastes so sweet Well it makes you feel brand new You've told me your story straight and true Tell me was it good for us Or only good for you You tell me, you tell me Every turn of every page Every chord that I have played In every shade of red or blue Every girl on every street Makes a poor heart skip to beat It makes you feel brand new
