John Illsley Tell Me
I know the road is stoney
The road's too long
We know that man is crazy
It's clear the man's too strong
You tell me, you tell me
System's in a state of shock
People lost and burned
Answer seems so far away
Lessons to be learned
You tell me, you tell me
Every turn of every page
Every chord that I have played
In every shade of red or blue
Every girl on every street
Every breath that tastes so sweet
Makes you feel brand new
Time and time again
The same news has its way
As vultures gather for the feast
A glorious takeaway
You tell me, you tell me
When I gathered up to leave
You drew me to your side
Hand in hand we found a way
To cross that great divide
You tell me, you tell me
Every turn of every page
Every journey I have made
In every shade of red or blue
Every girl on every street
Every breath that tastes so sweet
Well it makes you feel brand new
You've told me your story straight and true
Tell me was it good for us
Or only good for you
You tell me, you tell me
Every turn of every page
Every chord that I have played
In every shade of red or blue
Every girl on every street
Makes a poor heart skip to beat
It makes you feel brand new
