Nerina Pallot - Damascus - remastered lyrics

Years ago, you said to me "i think i'm losing the fight Or the fight's losing me, i'm not certain," And 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 for so long that i've forgotten myself But 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 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 more unto the breach and f** my getting 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 And i don't want to fight, i don't want to be 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 gonna be The devil my intimate friend And hell is other people's hearts And knowing that everything must end Oh, it's over... And i don't want to fight, i don't want to be right I know that everything means nothing On the road to damascus they fell Well, i've been to damascus as well
