Lyrics:
Theres a small cafe on the outskirts of town Ill be there when the sun goes down Where the roadside bends And it twists and turns Every new generation And Ill be praying to my higher self Dont let me down, keep my feet on the ground Theres 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 its like to be daniel in the lions den Got so many friends only most of the time When the grass is high and the rabbit runs Though its talkin to you and i And every new generation comes to pay The dues of the organ grinder jam And the grinders switch of the sacrifice Everybody made to be rational with understanding And Ill be praying to my higher self Oh, dont let me down, keep my feet on the ground What about all the people living in the nightmare hurt That wont go away no matter how hard they try Theyve got to pay time and time again, time and time again Ill be praying to my higher self And Ill 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 Ill be praying to my higher self Dont let me down, keep my feet on the ground, dont let me down Youll be cryin again, youll be cryin again, youll 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 Ill be praying, Ill be praying to my higher self Dont 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 Ill 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 Ill be praying to my higher self, to my higher self Dont let me down, dont let me down And youll 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 Ill be praying to my higher self, dont let me down, dont 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 were 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 Im praying, and Im gonna pray Im gonna pray, to my higher self, ah dont let me down Dont let me down, give me the fire, ah give me the fire
