Nerina Pallot Lyrics

Damascus

Years ago, you said to me
"I think I'm losing the fight, or the fight's losing me
I'm not certain."
Here we are - the closing scene and all the house lights come up
Oh, the falling of our final curtain
I've played a role so long that I've forgotten myself
I said I'd be there, and I'm keeping my word
You've played yourself so well and now I want to be you
A great imitation of losing my nerve

So it's over
And everything is wrong, everything has gone
And I know that everything means nothing
Oh it's over
But I don't want to fight, I don't want to right
I know that everything means nothing
On the road to Damascus they fell

I saw the light, I saw the light!!
But hey, it never saw me
Oh conversion has just left me heathen
And we could wait a thousand years, perhaps a million or more
If it's worth waiting for, but I'm leaving
And so to a mecca of earthly delights
Depression is only desire deprived
Once move unto the breach and fuck my gettting it right
We've died for so long, let's just get out alive

Cause it's over
And everything is wrong, everything has gone
And I know that everything means nothing
Oh it's over
But I don't want to fight, I don't want to right
I know that everything means nothing
On the road to Damascus they fell
Well, I've been to Damascus, it's hell
Hell is where I'm gonan be
The devil my intimate friend
And hell is other people's hearts
And knowing that everything must end

Oh it's over
And everything is wrong, everything has gone
And I know that everything means nothing
Oh it's over
And I don't want to fight, I don't want to right
I know that everything means nothing
On the road to Damascus they fell
Well I've been to Damascus as well
