ghostdancing

simple minds

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

'cause 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

o blow them away

blow

blow away

we will blow them away

o blow

blow away

blow

blow away

blow

blow away

come say what you see in me

'cause boy

i believe in you

come say what you're seeing

they're all gone just ghost dancing

going all the way through

you know i believe in you

oh yes i believe

you know i believe in you

you say you believe

i believe

i believe

going all the way through

yeah

come take me back home

come on and take me away

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 from 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

take me away
