Devastation at last finally we meet   After all of these years out here on the street   I had a feeling you would make yourself known   You came along just to claim your place on the throne   And I have been overthrown   Overthrown      And I thought if I towed the right lines   But these mockingbirds won't let me shine      Devastation my door was left open wide   You brought me into your heart then you swallowed my pride   I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts   I made a note to myself I nearly forgot   Now I am overwrought   I'm overwrought      And I thought if I towed the right lines   But these mockingbirds won't let me shine      And I thought if I towed the right lines   But these mockingbirds won't let me shine      One day this ground will break   And open up for me I hope it will I hope it will      Salutations at last down on my knees   I heard the bugle this morn blast reveille   Woke from a dream where I was in a terrible realm   All my sails were ablaze I was chained to the helm   And now I am overwhelmed   I'm overwhelmed      And I thought if I towed the right lines   But these mockingbirds won't let me shine      And I thought if I towed the right lines   But these mockingbirds won't let me shine      And I thought if I towed the right lines (devastation at last)   But these mockingbirds won't let me shine      And I thought if I towed the right lines (devastation at last)   But these mockingbirds won't let me shine      And I thought if I towed the right lines (devastation at last)   But these mockingbirds won't let me shine      And I thought if I towed the right lines (devastation at last)   But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
