Valhalla Avenue

You awake, lying still

While light makes landfall

In the steel suburban room

The windows show, row on row, all the same:

More people are summoned round to chase to blue



Your lips still work, you know your name

But know not why nor whence you came

You have no past, you have no guilt

You've arrived, you've arrived

Dreams, nightmares are through

You've arrived, you've arrived on valhalla avenue



You were a drunk, you kept a filthy home

And you hated hard with confusion in your heart

The barren weeks, the amnesiac years

You'd put the world off till tomorrow and let despair tear you apart



Well, now they're breaking down the door

Your hideaway is safe no more

Scream as they drag you from your bed

When you recount from a bleeding head



You've arrived, you've arrived

But redemption was not for you

You've arrived--goodbye to valhalla avenue



So long! cheerio! bye bye!

I'll see you later on! next time, i hope it's fun!
