Running down along the towns along the shore When I was sixteen and on my own No I couldn't tell you what the hell those breaks were for I was just trying to hear my song Jimmy found his own sweet sound when he won that free guitar And we'd all get in the van and play Life became the Paradox, the Bell, the Rouge et noir And the stretch of road running to L.A. BRIDGE : Pages turning Pages we were years from learning Straight into the night our hearts were flung (PLAY REGULAR "C" and "D" for chorus) CHORUS : Better bring your own redemtion when you come To the barricades of heaven where I'm from All the world was shining from those hills With the stars above and the lights below Among those there to test their fortune and their will I lost track of the score long ago BRIDGE, CHORUS Childhood comes for me at night The voices of my friends Your face bathing me in light I hope that never ends Pages turning Pages torn and pages burning Faded pages open in the sun Chorus (TWICE)
