Rise Above It Lyrics - Capture 1995-2010 - Afro Celt Sound System

Crackin' walls inside my head 

With a bottle full of rain 

I promised to the coaster 

I wouldn't tear it up again 

Flick a peanut, break a glass 

I wish I didn't sleep at Mass 

And everything is closin' up 

And yet again I come in last 

I saw it in a dream 

It was another time 

And everything was blue 

Everything was fine 

And you were always there 

And I could see clear 

I was always yours 

You were always mine 

Rise above it, rise above it, rise above it 

I see her on the ceiling 

She's staring down in her gown 

I had to make allowances 

Between my love and goin' out 

Now everything is closing up 

The last call is well asleep 

At gigs I danced with a Blue Nun 

Now heartburn is goin' cheap 

I saw it in a dream 

It was another time 

Everything was true 

Everything sublime 

And you were always there 

And I could see clear 

I was always yours 

You were always mine 

I saw it in a dream 

It was another time 

Everything was true 

Everything sublime 

And you were always there 

And I could see clear 

I was always yours 

You were always mine 

Rise above, rise above it 

I wouldn't tear it up again
