lyrics

Back Alleys – Words and music by Phil Klahn
There’s moment in time, with an air of clarity
When you say “The world is mine”, in complete sincerity

And you believe it’s true, your head split open
With the things you’ll do, if they’d only let you

Innocence and honesty falling through the cracks
Ignorance and apathy racing down the track

When you travel the back alleys
No one sees your shadow
No one wonders why
When you hide in the dark alleys
No one hears the lie

It’s a point of endless pride, my one claim to fame
A sign an ocean wide, my birthright, my name

And I believe it’s true, my heart wide open
And when the train is due, I’ll jump right in

Searching through the residue
Sifting through ashes
Resurrected dreams come true
Rising from the ashes

Innocence and honesty falling through the cracks
Ignorance and apathy racing down the track

When you travel the back alleys
No one sees your shadow
No one wonders why
When you hide in the dark alleys
No one hears you

Rising from the ashes
Now, it’s time to choose
Sifting through the ashes
I win, we lose, You win, we lose

Ya we lose, ya we lose

When you travel the back alleys
No one sees your shadow
Ya we lose
When you travel the back alleys
No one wonders why
Ya we lose
When you travel the back alleys
No one hears the lie
