Glass Hammer Twilight Of The Godz Lyrics

Reason comes to Tom in the form of an old bandmate to debate the merits of reliving the past

Went downtown just the other day
I drove past the club where we used to play
Oh my, that was a tragic chapter
In a greater tragic tale

Remember how I'd sing for you
Those many years ago
You say you're gonna get the band back together again
Well I don't know why

Maybe you haven't heard
Half the band got booked for the big one
That great gig in the sky
I know to you it seems like yesterday

You'd better let it lie
There's a hundred million reasons why
I'd love to stay a while but I must go
Wish you would come with me but I don't know
I see you drifting down the stream
And what you're looking for was only ever just a dream I'm not gonna say what you want me to
Just trying to show you what's been hidden from you
In time
You can't keep looking backwards
What you're looking for, isn't there
If that's the thing you need, well, I'm gonna have to say goodbye
I left my dreams where they belong
Must be nice though, maybe I should come along
I could lose myself in those unfinished songs
Would that be wrong

You say you're gonna get the band back together again
Well I don't know why
Maybe you haven't heard
Half the band got booked for the big one

That great gig in the sky
I know to you it seems like yesterday
You'd better let it lie
There's a hundred million reasons why
