Lyrics
Ascension
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Something must have died here cos I can feel it moving on
We're here to replace it - to be the next big thing
Something new will breed her, something we all will become
Indulgence is a culture that takes me away
I'm breaking away as you're going down
You're going down, you're going down, you're going down
Something must have died here cos I can smell mortality
Something burnt a hole here and tumbled down
Welcome to a network of people that only say 'yes'
Welcome to a culture that will eat you alive
Ascend and we'll thrive as you're going down
You're going down, you're going down, you're going down
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
It's too much for you to hold
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Pucker up until you fold
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
It's too much for you to hold
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
It's too much and you're falling down
You're going down, you're going down, you're going down
Something must have died here cos I can feel a higher force
Something that once lived here has died and passed away
Welcome to a culture that can't wait for you to fall
But this is our ascension and we're here to stay
Goodbye as you fade, as you're falling down
You're going down, you're going down, you're going down
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
It's too much for you to hold
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Pucker up until you fold
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
It's too much for you to hold
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
It's too much and you're falling down
You're going down, you're going down, you're going down
Something must have died here
Cos I can feel our need to stay
