Valhalla Avenue Lyrics - Fatima Mansions

You awake, lying still / while light makes landfall 

in the steel suburban room 

The windows show, row on row, all the same: 

More people are summoned round to chase to blue 

Your lips still work, you know your name 

but know not why nor whence you came 

You have no past, you have no guilt 

You've arrived, you've arrived 

Dreams, nightmares are through 

You've arrived, you've arrived on Valhalla Avenue 

You were a drunk, you kept a filthy home 

and you hated hard with confusion in your heart 

The barren weeks, the amnesiac years 

You'd put the world off till tomorrow and let despair tear you apart 

Well, now they're breaking down the door / You hide away, safe no more 

Scream as they drag you from your bed / When you recount from a bleeding head 

You've arrived, you've arrived 

but redemption was not for you 

You've arrived--goodbye to Valhalla Avenue 

So long! Cheerio! Bye bye! 

I'll see you later on! Next time, I hope it's fun!
