background
"The live debut of this song was at the now legendary Live Aid concert that took place in Philadelphia's JFK stadium.
Our hearts were in our mouths on that day and each and every time we play that song, all those emotions return" - Jim
lyrics
|
Cities, buildings falling down,
Satellites come crashing down.
I see them falling out the skies like eagles,
All mirrored glass and shattered egos.
But in a corner of the world we'd meet to laugh and drink and plan our sequels.
'Cause in the alleyways and bars downtown,
They're singing "Up from here to there can we go."
This city comes alive at night, see these city walls are heaving.
And if these old city walls should crash amid the rubble you'd find us breathing.
Come say what you see in me,
Because boy, I believe in you.
Come say what you're seeing,
All gone just ghost dancing - going all the way through.
You talk about the Lebanon,
You tell me 'bout the dawn in Eden.
You talk about South Africa,
I tell you about the Irish children.
You say one more Polish Knight could come and blow away the doors to freedom.
And if Mother Ethiopia could blow away the tears that we see run.
Oh blow them away,
Blow, blow away.
We will blow them away.
Oh blow, blow away,
Blow, blow away,
Blow, blow away.
Come see what you see in me,
Because boy, I believe in you.
Come say what you're seeing,
They've all gone just ghost dancing - going all the way there.
You say I believe.
Oh yes I believe, you know I believe in you.
You say you believe,
I believe, I believe, going all the way through.
Ghost dancing.
The car pulled up, the girl she jumped in,
The boy he wore a medal that was shining from his skin.
With the windows pulled up, their radio tuned in,
She's hitting for the stars, he's hitting for the moon.
She said "One last kiss while you look across the land."
"Move it into overdrive and take me by my hand."
When the car broke,
The rebels saw smoke,
And they all went to heaven in a stupid fantasy.
Go.
