lyrics

in the shadow of the new brigade
born alive a lightning renegade
crawling up the stairs towards a rising sun

on the shoulders of a broken past
left for dead inside a looking glass
running through the veins of future innocents

just as slippery as a newborn page
like a trophy from a golden age
baby christian reaching for her daddy's gun

it's getting harder everyday
from the outside looking in is there nothing to believe in anymore?
i can't suicide,I can't surrender
can't get cut down at the fence
i'm hanging on for my baby's arms

future city on the chopping block
dreamers set to crash the docks
ride the lightning before it catches up to us

marguerite with your hair shook down
in your eyes your lover man did drown
now go and show em how the west is won
in the clutches of the rewind mirror
my baby slowly disappears
walking perfect into someone else's arms

it's getting harder every day from the outside looking in
is there nothing to believe in anymore?
i can't suicide,I can't surrender
can't get cut down at the fence
i'm hanging on for my baby's arms

fever dreaming just the other night
it took me to the other side
where people had a smile that you could trust
such a kindness ringing in the air
children laughing everywhere
turning every nightmare into dust
in the twilight on that summers day
i let my girl walk away
and turned our golden dream into rust

it's getting harder everyday
from the outside looking in
is there nothing to believe in anymore?

i can't suicide, i can't surrender
can't get cut down at the fence
i'm hanging on for my baby's arms
