. The streets of persuasion Are plated with gold Your heart's in the right place, But you travel down the wrong road Like so many before you The gates open wide Here come the rising tide . Let's go out tonight There's a mystery underneath the neon light Before life and dreams collide Cause the truth's gonna come and cut me open wide And you can't escape the rising of the tide . Keep up your appearance; you're joining the choir With everybody singing out "Glory, Hallelujah" The time came for your solo But there was nowhere to hide Here come the rising tide . And the company you keep, Well they plan your crucifixion as we speak So, baby 'til life and the dream collide There's gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lights If you can't decipher just who's on your side You will not escape the rising of the tide . Can you tell me brother? Was I deceived, or in denial? I was there, in the back of the room, when you testified . With your pitchfork tongue, you licked your lips and lied We're never gonna know how hard you cried When you petitioned and your access was denied 'Til the venom in your veins is satisfied 'Til you suffocate and swallow down the pride . Well you can't escape You can't escape Yeah, you can't escape You can't escape No, you can't escape the rising of the tide .
