Idealist Touch |
| I learned a lesson |
| As I was waiting for the train |
| A gentleman of younger years |
| Ran past me, his face wrought with pain |
| He had blood on his jacket |
| It seemed his life was on the line |
| He turned back as I shouted after him |
| 'If you want, you can leave all this behind' |
| (He said) 'I've been down this street a thousand times |
| I still carry a knife |
| Now you fill the air with your wise words |
| You ask if this is how I want to live my life?' |
| 'No sir, it ain’t, I think you’ll find, |
| Finding a way out is all that’s on my mind |
| So let’s talk, realistically |
| Do you have another choice that you can offer me? |
| Will you heal my world with your idealist touch? |
| No? |
| I thought as much' |
| I could see he meant it Even though he knew it wrong |
| In a trap from which he can’t escape |
| And he knows this isn’t where he belongs |
| (I said) 'No one wants blood on the streets' |
| (He said) 'Surely you can see? |
| I’m in too deep, there’s no way out |
| It’s either them or me' |
| (He said) 'I've been down this street a thousand times |
| I still carry a knife |
| Now you fill the air with your wise words |
| You ask if this is how I want to live my life?' |
| 'No sir, it ain’t, I think you’ll find, |
| Finding a way out is all that’s on my mind |
| So let’s talk, realistically |
| Do you have another choice that you can offer me? |
| Will you heal my world with your idealist touch? |
| No? |
| I thought as much' |
| (Guitar Solo) |
| There’s no way to save |
| Those who make their own path to an early grave |
| Those who seek to ensure violence remains on the streets |
| And bring the world so much pain |
| In truth, we have a second chance |
| So make sure this isn’t you |
| Because this story is all fiction |
| But round here, it might as well be true |
| (He said) 'I've been down this street a thousand times |
| I still carry a knife |
| Now you fill the air with your wise words |
| You ask if this is how I want to live my life?' |
| 'No sir, it ain’t, I think you’ll find, |
| Finding a way out is all that’s on my mind |
| So let’s talk, realistically |
| Do you have another choice that you can offer me? |
| Will you heal my world with your idealist touch? |
| No? |
| I thought as much' |
