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
