Simple Minds — Take A Step Back lyrics

Lyrics

Go tell it on the mountain
Like it burst forth like a fountain
Try to shake the deep foundations of this land
High up on lover’s land
They got hotel rooms so grand
And no one here knows what goes behind closed doors
Take a step back to the middle of the track
Don’t you know it’s rumoured all around
Says you know it’s come to town
Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track
'Cos the rumours are around said you’re coming back to town
And with every little lie
You come and never blink an eye
You know you’ve got yourself all tied up When you’re around
I’ve got the modern world behind me Like a needle in a haystack find me They build you up and then they’re going to burn you down
So take a step back to the middle of the track
The rumours all around
Said you’re coming back to me Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track
Says you know it’s going upside, you know what’s going down
I’m haunted by the wanderer deep inside
Wanted by Haunted by
I’m haunted by the wanderer that’s deep in my soul
Gonna look back to the middle of the track
And you know it’s going upside
Le, le, da, le Telling me Ah ha, uh hu Ooh look back to the middle of the track
And you know it’s going upside
Telling me…
Don’t tell me it’s a bad dream
Don’t tell me it’s not what it seems
Don’t tell me pretty soon you know
Gotta stop the roller coaster
Gotta make the most of it Gonna pull you down
Gotta make the most of it
