My eyes are stuck on sleepless dreams,
This world is never what it seems,
We`ve sold it short, it`s what we`re taught,
Lost it in the living.
Allegiance is the strangest thing,
It`s grown too fast, grown some wings,
It`s flown away, flown away.
The back door to heaven is open wide to me,
So when I`m wrapped up tight in the hell of the night,
Can I still decide to be,
Where the mad road goes, `neath the shapeless glow,
Or will we swop ourselves like children
For the value of our innocence,
A gentleman`s a golden card and a red, red rose.
Transformed by some strange alchemy,
You stand apart and point to me,
Then point to something I can`t see,
And it`s a lousy rainbow anyway.
Allegiance is the strangest thing,
It`s grown too fast, grown some wings,
It`s flown away, flown away.
Chorus
Your cheating heart will choose a way,
To borrow, burn and throw away,
Tomorrow same as yesterday,
It`s a lousy rainbow anyway.
Chorus repeat
