Oingo Boingo - Glory Be lyrics

Nothing ever stays the same

Water's flowing down my side

Turn the water into wine

Where's the courage I once had

Where's the strength I once possessed

To stand up tall and face the music

Laughing in the face of death

Here's a boy whose hands are bleeding

Though he's never had a scratch

Glory come and glory be

Water's flowing now at last

CHORUS

Like a bad dream I once had where

Everyone but me knew something

Walking blind through the burning fields

The dead brigade is on my heels

They follow me--they follow me

Water's flowing though my veins

Nothing ever stays the same

Flows outside for all to see

Water flows through you and me

Nothing ever stays the same

Water turns to wine again

Drink the wine & eat the wafer

Lash the skin & scream together

CHORUS

BRIDGE

Water's flowing through me

Cut me open--let me bleed

Silence is golden

(But) Shout it out--Shout it out--Shout

Water's flowing through my veins

Nothing ever stays the same

Through eyes that once were blind with passion

Everything looks soft and grey

Without color or rough edges

Without fire to burn the skin

Without pride and without reason

Water turns to wine again

Water's flowing through my veins

Tell me now it's all the same

Tell me that it doesn't matter

Tell me everything's alright

CHORUS

Water's flowing through my veins

Nothing ever stays the same

Glory come and glory be

Glory come to you and me

Water's flowing through my veins .
