Opium Trail Lyrics
4 ContributorsOpium Trail LyricsAccording to Phil Lynott’s biographer Stuart Bailey, this song was inspired by a TV drama on triads, which had become “a worrying obsession with Phil”. Phil was addicted to drugs like cocaine, which… Read More I took a line that leads you to the opium trail
Oriental eyes reveal the lies, deceit, betrayal
On this journey behold one who travels far
You called him fool, but now you are
The wizard wanders through the world he made from dreams
The splashing whirlpool drowns the frightening screams
Exotic dancers, flashing lancers, this mysterious space
The fanfare advances, the warlord falls from grace
It clears your pain
But it's got you claimed again, my love
You feel the need, but it lets you bleed
You must concede, my love
No-one to blame, no shame
You crave again and again, my love
No use to plead
From you it feeds your greed, my love
It's got you, my love
I took a line that comes from the golden states of Shan
The smuggler's trail that leads you to the opium den
The Chinese connection refines to heroin
Depart the heart you crave again
It clears all pain
But your soul, it's claimed again, my love
You feel the need, but it lets you bleed
You must concede, my love
No-one to blame, no shame
You crave again and again, my love
No use to plead
From you it feeds your greed, my love
Downtown Sundown Lyrics
4 ContributorsDowntown Sundown LyricsIf you want your freedom
There is nothing planned
If you really need him
I will understand
Please believe in love
I believe there is a God above
For love
And he's coming, yes, he's coming
If you want to fly
Then fly away
All the cloudy skies
Belong to yesterday
Please believe in love
I believe there is a God above
For love
And he's coming, yes, he's coming
In the shadows the swallow dies
No one knows the hobo hides
There is no need to apologise
This is the story of a downtown sundown
If you climb the mountain
Then you will see
There is no great distance
Between the Lord and me
Please believe in love
I believe there is a God above
For love
And he's coming, yes, he's coming
In the shadows the swallow dies
No one knows the hobo hides
There is no need to apologise
This is the story of a downtown sundown
