The Chamber Of 32 Doors (The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway 1974)

Текст песни Genesis - The Chamber Of 32 Doors (The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway 1974)

[Verse 1]
At the top of the stairs, there's hundreds of people
Running around to all the doors
They try to find, find themselves an audience
Their deductions need applause

[Pre-Chorus]
The rich man stands in front of me
The poor man behind my back
They believe they can control the game
But the juggler holds another pack

[Chorus]
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust

[Verse 2]
I'd rather trust a countryman than a town man
You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can
He'll smile through his guard
Survival trains hard
I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands
He looks at you once, you know he understands
Don't need any shield
When you're out in the field
[Bridge]
But down here
I'm so alone with my fear
With everything that I hear
And every single door, that I've walked through
Brings me back, back here again
I've got to find my own way

[Verse 3]
The priest and the magician
Singing all the chants that they have ever heard
And they're all calling out my name
Even academics, searching printed word

[Pre-Chorus]
My father to the left of me
My mother to the right
Like everyone else they're pointing
But nowhere feels quite right

[Chorus]
And I need someone to believe in, someone to trust
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust

[Verse 4]
I'd rather trust a man who doesn't shout what he's found
There's no need to sell if you're homeward bound
If I choose a side
He won't take me for a ride
[Outro]
Back inside
This chamber of so many doors;
I've nowhere, nowhere to hide
I'd give you all of my dreams, if you'd help me
Find a door
That doesn't lead me back again
Take me away
