GRAND ILLUSION
SOME PEOPLE SAY A MAN IS MADE OUT OF MUD
A POOR MAN'S MADE OUT OF MUSCLE AND BLOOD
MUSCLE AND BLOOD AND SKIN AND BONE
A MIND THAT'S WEAK AND A BACK THAT'S STRONG
YOU LOAD SIXTEEN TONS, AND WHAT DO YOU GET
ANOTHER DAY OLDER AND DEEPER IN DEBT
SAY BROTHER DON'T YOU CALL ME 'COS I CAN'T GO
I OWE MY SOUL TO THE COMPANY STORE
I WAS BORN ONE MORNING WHEN THE SUN DIDN'T SHINE
I PICKED UP MY SHOVEL AND I WALKED TO THE MINE
I LOADED SIXTEEN TONS OF NUMBER NINE COAL
AND THE STRAW BOSS SAID 'WELL BLESS MY SOUL'
I WAS BORN ONE MORNING IT
Hide
To what do I owe this gift my friend?
My life?
My love?
My soul?
I’ve been dancing with the devil way too long,
And it’s making me grow old,
Making me grow old.
(Chorus)
Let’s leave...Oh let’s get away
Get lost in time
Where there’s no reason left to hide.
Let’s leave...Oh let’s get away,
Run in fields of time,
Where there’s no reason left to hide.
What are you going to do with your gift dear child?
Give life?
give love?
give soul?
Divided is the one who dances,
For the soul is so exposed,
So exposed.
(Chorus)
Let’s leave...Oh let’s get away
Get lost in time
Where there’s no reason left to hide.
Let’s leave...Oh let’s get away
Run in fields of time
Where there’s no reason left to hide.
There is no reason to hide,
There is no reason to hide,
There is no reason to hide,
There is no reason to hide,
(Chorus) Repeat 2x’s
Let’s leave...Oh let’s get away
Get lost in time
Where there’s no reason left to hide.
Let’s leave...Oh let’s get away
Run in fields of time
Where there’s no reason left to hide.
There is no reason to hide,
No reason to hide,
There is no reason to hide,
No reason to hide.
