Damascus
Nerina Pallot

Years ago you said to me
I think I'm losing the fight
Or the fight's losing me
I'm not certain
And here we are
The closing scene
And all the house lights come up
Oh, the falling of our final curtain

I've played a role so long that I've forgotten myself
I said I'd be there and I'm keeping my word
You've played yourself so well
And now I want to be you
A great imitation of losing my nerve

So it's over
And everything is wrong
Everything is gone
I know that everything means nothing
Oh, it's over
I don't want to fight
I don't want to be right
I know that everything means nothing
On the road to Damascus they fell

I saw the light
I saw the light
But hey, it never saw me
Oh, conversion has just left me heathen
And we could wait a thousand years
Perhaps a million or more
If it's worth waiting for
But I'm leaving

And so on to a mecca of earthly delights
Depression is only desire deprived
Once more unto the breach and fuck my getting it right
We've died for so long
Let's just get out alive

'Cause it's over
And everything is wrong
Everything is gone,
I know that everything means nothing,
Oh, it's over
And I don't want to fight
I don't want to be right
I know that everything means nothing
On the road to Damascus they fell
Well I've been to Damascus

Hell is where I'm gonna be
The devil my intimate friend
And hell is other people's hearts
And knowing that everything must end

Oh, it's over
And everything is wrong
Everything is gone
I know that everything means nothing
Oh, it's over
But I don't want to fight
I don't want to be right
I know that everything means nothing

Oh, it's over
Oh

Oh, it's over
And I don't want to fight
I don't want to be right
I know that everything means nothing
On the road to Damascus they fell
Well, I've been to Damascus as well
