The Who - Wire & Gla** lyrics

I. Sound Round I'm young in my camper van The world feels old and new I fear the future man As I take in the view Don't know where to head now Give up? Go back? My friends are all dead now Or stifled in the sack Sound round, Feel the ground Feel the pulse We have found Breathe in Feel the spin Where's the dream That we were in? Sound round, Feel the ground Feel the pulse We have found Sound round, Feel the ground Feel the pulse We have found Breathe in Feel the spin Where's the dream That we were in? Sound round, Feel the ground Feel the pulse We have found I'm young in my camper van The world feels old and new I fear the future man As I take in the view II. Pick Up the Peace Now I'm in the ether Look down at time I see three children Prepare to walk the line I see them older When life is done I was a loser At the game they won Come on let's try To pick up the peace You and I On our hands and knees Come on let's try To pick up, pick up the peace Come on let's try To touch the Fleece You and I On our hands and knees Come on let's try To pick up, pick up the peace How do old people forget That the wars we've seen Are 'bout me longing for you You longing for me? III. Unholy Trinity Three kids from the neighborhood Three different lives Three different ways to be Three identical smiles We're not the same But we can talk We kiss and link our arms We take a walk We watch the tide ebb way Carry our ides to the sea We hear the music Remember being free We are unholy Trinity In love forever We are the sea We are the ocean We are the free We are unholy Trinity IV. Trilby's Piano Your mother loves her brother But her brother loves his lover And his lover is my cover My one and only other - my angel My angel Trilby Who said I will be What I should still be Genius would fill me - she loves Hymie Only one Hymie No one else on earth could ever blind me - like this Or even find me - such bliss If you were gone You'd still be here Only one Hymie Why can't they see that life excites me This boy ignites me His family fights me But he's still here Only one Hymie... V. Endless Wire We found this pile of paper Written by that ether man He hatched a mad old caper He had a mad old plan He'd turn us into music He'd show us to our portals He gathered wire and angels To entertain immortals Out on the endless, endless Out on the endless wire Out on the endless, endless Out on the endless wire VI. Fragments of Fragments Are we breathing out Or breathing in Are we leaving life Or moving on Are we breathing out Or breathing in Are we breathing in We are tiny pieces Falling now and settling Like snowflake crystal Building on the city street Snowflakes falling Snowflakes falling Snowflakes falling Snowflakes falling Are we the parts Are we the whole Are we the thoughts Are we the soul The parts of me And this is true The parts of me Belong to you Breathing out Breathing in Breathing out Breathing in Breathing out Breathing in Belong to you And you And you And you... VII. We Got a Hit We got our folks together We broke down barriers We found a dream to dream We were the carriers We got rich and famous Papers at our door We talked a load of crap They wanted more We got a hit Good news, we got a hit We got a hit Good news, we got a hit We got a hit We got a hit... We got our folks together We broke down barriers We found a dream to dream We were the carriers We got a hit Good news, we got a hit We got a hit Good news VIII. They Made My Dream Come True People died where I performed People cried when Gla** deformed Shots rang out as the singer yawned The band played on until the dawn Lies and drunks and d** and fools Tricks and stunts disguise the tools Was the victim dead, was there blood in pools Was this not part of show-biz rules? They made my dream come true They made my dream come true They made my dream come true IX. Mirror Door If you don't hear me, how can I tell you If you don't listen, why should I speak If you're indifferent, how can I reach you Just 'cos you're angry don't a**ume I'm weak Howling Wolf and old Link Wray Dave Van Ronk and Doris Day Bobby Darin, Brownie McGhee Elvis, Buddy and Eddie C Music makes me, makes me strong Strong vibrations, make me long Long for a place where I belong You will find me in this song Who will walk through the mirror door Will there be music, or will there be war Will we be rich, or will we be poor Who will walk through the mirror door Who will walk through the mirror door Will there be music, or will there be war Will we be rich, or will we be poor Who will walk through the mirror door A thousand angels, a million children Fire and fear in a suicide eye Golden stairway to a Zeppelin heaven Rolling thunder under New York sky Frank 'n' Ella, Ray 'What'd I Say' Johnny Cash and Johnnie Ray Amadeus and Ludvig Van Henry, Johann and the Doo-Dah Band We are here in celebration This music's gonna make us strong We climb up high, to the golden station Curtis Mayfield ain't waiting long Get on board... Who will walk through the mirror door Will there be music, or will there be war Will we be rich, or will we be poor Who will walk through the mirror door Who will walk through the mirror door Will there be music, or will there be war Will we be rich, or will we be poor Who will walk through the mirror door Howling Wolf and old Link Wray Dave Van Ronk and Doris Day Bobby Darin, Brownie McGhee Elvis, Buddy and Eddie C Frank 'n' Ella, Ray 'What'd I Say' Johnny Cash and Johnnie Ray Amadeus and Ludvig Van Henry, Johann and the Doo-Dah Band Keep on climbing
