I saw my soul fall apart like dirt in my hands I've got this feeling deep inside I could be a different man Can I teach you to understand the way that I am It's useless to play the game if you can beat the man Now I've seen the blinding light I can't close my eyes Now I've seen the blinding light I can't close my eyes Now I've seen the blinding light I can't close my eyes Now I've seen the blinding light I can't close my eyes The sent of the city streets still fills me with dread But at night it calls to me like a demon in my head I stumble like a drunken fool in a maze of my own making I found my way in the back streets just as my heart was breaking Now I've seen the blinding light I can't close my eyes Now I've seen the blinding light I can't close my eyes Now I've seen the blinding light I can't close my eyes Now I've seen the blinding light I can't close my eyes
