San Mateo by Elway Lyrics
Well sing it up on a mountain if you've had it to here with this place
These voices are candles these fingers are scarce we'll be the judges
Of who are the damned and the saved
That promise of perdition, it's not coming back
I sing all these songs for my best friends
Feel this life for all that it's worth
We've got to get a move on tonight
Cause our flesh will perish the ember will move on this earth
Don't ask for second chances cause you'll come up flat
Our shoulders to the well we'll take it back
Recreate them cause I don't wanna live in the shackles of the shepherd anymore
It's isolative to know we die alone
The truth is always there to warm my heart
What else do you need?
You toss all your guilt to the fire
With that
Membership card
It marked your confirmation
And rendered you bonds with the church that left you int he dark
As we watched the ashes smolder I felt proud
As we went goodbye to the past that tore us down
Recreate them cause I don't wanna live in the shadow of the valley anymore
It's isolative to know we die alone
The truth is always there to warm my heart
What else do you need?
Try to steal small voices from the fathers from the lot
Cause we're dying to believe we're dying to believe
Mount on the wings like eagles
Carve these words into a rock
Oh I will not believe
Recreate them cause I don't wanna live in the ashes of the altar anymore
It's isolative to know we die alone
The truth is always there to warm my heart
What else do you need?
These voices are candles these fingers are scarce we'll be the judges
Of who are the damned and the saved
That promise of perdition, it's not coming back
I sing all these songs for my best friends
Feel this life for all that it's worth
We've got to get a move on tonight
Cause our flesh will perish the ember will move on this earth
Don't ask for second chances cause you'll come up flat
Our shoulders to the well we'll take it back
Recreate them cause I don't wanna live in the shackles of the shepherd anymore
It's isolative to know we die alone
The truth is always there to warm my heart
What else do you need?
You toss all your guilt to the fire
With that
Membership card
It marked your confirmation
And rendered you bonds with the church that left you int he dark
As we watched the ashes smolder I felt proud
As we went goodbye to the past that tore us down
Recreate them cause I don't wanna live in the shadow of the valley anymore
It's isolative to know we die alone
The truth is always there to warm my heart
What else do you need?
Try to steal small voices from the fathers from the lot
Cause we're dying to believe we're dying to believe
Mount on the wings like eagles
Carve these words into a rock
Oh I will not believe
Recreate them cause I don't wanna live in the ashes of the altar anymore
It's isolative to know we die alone
The truth is always there to warm my heart
What else do you need?
