An angel came to me last night She saw me in a different light She showed me things I thoughht I could be Are not a million miles away As surely as night follows day It follows, Im a king not a slave It is another case of dj vu It seems to happen everyday It all comes back to me whatever I do Theres always been a price to pay Past lives, past lives You can never put the ghost to bed Get the feeling that you live, forever she said Past lives, past lives Rub my stomach while I pat my head Get the feeling in your mind When youre out of your head And to the eastern side of the bay My shadow is sailing away Treasure possessions and money to burn I wont be taking these with me I hear the echos and Ive nowhere to turn After all Im at sea Past lives, past lives We can anchor off the coast she said The storm will pass and the fog will clear in your head Past lives, past lives You can never put the ghost to bed Get the feeling that you live forever she said In another world when dreams collide To the mocking bird of faith we tied She comes to pass but not to stay Through the looking glass, she fades away Welcome to the house of usher An angel came to me last night She sold me down the river of life
