There's a small cafe on the outskirts of town
I'll be there when the sun goes down
Where
the roadside bends
And it twists and turns
Every new generation
And I'll be praying
to my higher self
Don't let me down, keep my feet on the ground
There's a roadside jam
playin' on the edge of town
In a town called Paradise near the ancient highway
When the
train whistle blows
All the sadness that Hank Williams knows
And the river flows
Call
them pagan streams and it spins and turns
In a factory in a street called Bread in East
Belfast
Where Georgie knows best
What it's like to be Daniel in the lion's den
Got so
many friends only most of the time
When the grass is high and the rabbit
runs
Though it's talkin' to you and I
And every new generation comes to pay
The dues
of the organ grinder jam
And the grinder's switch of the sacrifice
Everybody made to be
rational with understanding
And I'll be praying to my higher self
Oh, don't let me down,
keep my feet on the ground
What about all the people living in the nightmare
hurt
That won't go away no matter how hard they try
They've got to pay time and time
again, time and time again
I'll be praying to my higher self
And I'll be standin' there,
where the boats go by
When the sun is sinking way over the hill
On a Friday evening when
the sun goes down
On the outskirts of town, I wanna slip away
I wanna slip away, got to
get away
And I'll be praying to my higher self
Don't let me down, keep my feet on the
ground, don't let me down
You'll be cryin' again, you'll be cryin' again, you'll be
cryin' again
By the same wipe the teardrops from your eyes
Have to slip away in the
evening when the sun goes down
Over the hill, with a sense of wonder
Everything gonna be
right on a Friday evening
All the cars go by all along down
The ancient highway
And
I'll be praying, I'll be praying to my higher self
Don't let me down, keep my feet, keep my
feet on the ground
Keep my feet on the ground
Travelling like a stranger in the
night, all along the ancient highway
Got you in my sights, got you on my mind
I'll be
praying in the evening when the sun goes down
Over the mountain, got to get you right in my
sight
As the beams on the cars from the overpass
On the ancient highway shine like
diamonds in the night
Like diamonds in the night
I'll be praying to my higher self, to my
higher self
Don't let me down, don't let me down
And you'll be standing there,
while the boats go by
While the boats go by on a Friday evening
Shining your light,
shining your light on a Friday evening
Got to slip away, got to slip away down that ancient
highway
In a town called Paradise, in a town, in a town
All along, all along that road,
all along that road,
All along that road with the trancelike vision
I'll be praying
to my higher self, don't let me down, don't let me down
Keep my feet on the ground, keep my
feet on the ground,
Keep my feet on the ground
Friday evening got to slip
away
Watching the view from a car from the overpass
And we're driving down that ancient
road
Shining like diamonds in the night, oh diamonds in the night
All along the ancient
highway
Got you in my sight, got you in my mind
Got you in my arms and I'm praying, and
I'm gonna pray
I'm gonna pray, to my higher self, ah don't let me down
Don't let me down,
give me the fire, ah give me the fire
