One Direction

(альбом: The Promise - 1991)

Shine the light, I keep stumping into thin air
Ah-ah, feel so blind, I can't see my way clear
Ah-ah, take the pride, I won't feel a thing anywhere
Hmm-hmm, treacherous life, bury me to despair

You see,
Once I had a vision, now I lost the meaning
Ah-ah, one I had a reason to be here

Keep on moving, one direction
Overtaking the slow
But if you can't keep pace with them
Make the race with them, nobody wants to know

If someone would just give me a chance
I'm sure, of taking control
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I got nowhere to go

Hmm-hmm, cold at heart, nothing left I can sacrifice
Ah-ah, from the start nothing was ever right

You see I'm so pretty I get what I want
From the battery park to the top of the bronze
From the bottom of a bottle to the tip of tongue
A needle in a haystack with a needle in her arm
I got ways of means to the crack of the whip
Diabolical dreams when I make the trip
And you just step on, step on by
While I'm dying in the gutter out the corner of your eye

Once I had a reason to be alive

Keep on moving, one direction
Overtaking the slow
But if you can't keep up with them
Make their chore with them, nobody wants to know

If someone would just give me your hand
I'm sure, of taking control
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Keep on moving, one direction
Overtaking the slow
But if you can't keep pace with them
Take the race with them, nobody wants to know

Keep on moving, one direction
Overtaking the slow
But if you can't keep up with them
Take their chore with them, nobody wants to know
