The Other Side of Vanity

THE OTHER SIDE OF VANITY

Ashes to ashes

Dust to dust

Rats race

While cities rust

Cutting through

A lightning voice

Electrify the un-crowd

With anthems of odd

Sleek and shiny

Angel fall to glory

Sense of Doubt

Sound and Vision

Upside down

On the Outside

Trading faces

Switching places

Broken rules

Carry the news

Your pain

Was it all in vain?

Your pain

Wasn’t all in vain

Legacy of greatness

In your loved ones left behind

You look ahead

As you break on through

To the other side

Wild and riot

And a little bit of fear

Decade for decade

Changing shape

Changeling

Earthling

Stardust and Tin

Lazarus won’t sleep

Black Star, bright void

Keys to the keep

Your pain

Was it all in vain?

Your pain

Wasn’t all in vain

Your pain

Was it all in vain?

Your pain

wasn’t all in vain

We are on this side for now

As you

Major Tom into the next

As you break on through

To the other side

Challenge the establishment

Who says

Once the Light’s out you’re gone

And your pain is

Simply all in vain

Death is but a door to

Step through

On the way to infinity

As you break on through

To the other side

Look up here, I’m in heaven
