lyrics

So you came into the city, with hopes and dreams just like the ones before you
Ain't got a thing to call your own, if thoughts were things then you wouldn't be a pauper
So don't tell me that you figured the price of solitude, a price for which your heroes ain't got a quote
In the deepest depths of the nighttime, there's something competing with that sorrow

So I've only got to tell you, why everything falls apart
At the seams when in dreams so gently, it's not that hard
to even go around the world

You can go around the world

So you're a big shot now I guess
A few ones here, a couple there, you figure
So that's the way I must confess, to stray from that path for yourself, you've beaten'
But go on, go ahead and you'll become a vagabond in time
Another price to pay for your broken dreams
In the deepest depths of the nighttime, there's something competing with that sorrow

So I've only got to tell you, brother my brother stay
Oh but brother brother, I tell you it's okay

I could bless your soul like a prophetess but it still wouldn't do ya any good I guess
You're too damn blind and you're too far gone from thinking you're a bonafide paragon
That deserves the treating of a baroness, when you know you're just another pawn
Even Joe deserves a little extra too, from doin' all the things that he's supposed to do

So I've only got to tell you, brother my stay
Oh but brother, brother, I tell you it's okay

You can go around the world
