Break Away Lyrics

I walk down the street another mans dream lies broken at my feet

Ain't nothing too unusual just a couple kids shooting their favorite sweets

Lord knows I need to break away

Now there's a priest on the corner selling one night stands

This whole city's a garbage can

And I'm sick of being just another garbage man

I need to get away, to find a better way

Sometimes I think these streets can talk

And now their telling me it's time to walk

I've taken all that I can take

Not again and they can't make me

I face the end with no beginning

Then I saw the devil grinning

And I knew I had to break away

Well it's my last chance to get it right

God help me through this night

Give me the strength to break away

One time I thought we'd have it all

Now we're dancing at the Beggars Ball

One more night, just one more day

Enough time to find a better way

And don't speak to me of destiny

You've made your point I don't agree

The soldiers march, the poets dream

Of lost but not forgotten dreams

I face the end with no beginning

Then I saw the devil grinning

And I knew I had to break away

Well it's my last chance to get it right

God help me through this night

Give me the strength to break away

I face the end with no beginning

Then I saw the devil grinning

And I knew I had to break away
