The Past Lyrics - Shadows - Teenage Fanclub

Rolling through the city sprawl 

On a late night train 

The moon will survive us all 

Waiting for a friend to call 

I'm adrift again 

I search for nothing at all 

Modern life corrodes us all 

You know that it's true 

Give yourself a wake-up call 

Let the past come back to rescue you 

Seduced by a friendly fire 

I just watch the window 

Machines couldn't take me higher 

Don't wanna to be a lonely liar 

With a living tombstone 

Your warmth fills my desire 

Modern life corrodes us all 

You know that it's true 

Give yourself a wake-up call 

Let the past come back to rescue you 

I wake up to the morning star 

Embraced by false phosphorescence 

My dreams stay where they are 

I don't know where to start 

Alone and lost and guessing 

Revealed by an open heart 

Modern life corrodes us all 

You know that it's true 

Give yourself a wake-up call 

You know what it'll do 

Memory detains it all 

Your know that it's true 

Give yourself a wake-up call 

Let the past come back to rescue you 

The past come back to rescue you 

The past come back to rescue you 

The past comes back to rescue you
