An angel came to me last night

She saw me in a different light

She showed me things I thoughht I could be

Are not a million miles away



As surely as night follows day

It follows, I'm a king not a slave

It is another case of dj vu

It seems to happen everyday

It all comes back to me whatever I do

There's always been a price to pay



Past lives, past lives

You can never put the ghost to bed

Get the feeling that you live, forever she said



Past lives, past lives

Rub my stomach while I pat my head

Get the feeling in your mind

When you're out of your head



And to the eastern side of the bay

My shadow is sailing away

Treasure possessions and money to burn

I won't be taking these with me

I hear the echos and I've nowhere to turn

After all I'm at sea



Past lives, past lives

We can anchor off the coast she said

The storm will pass and the fog will clear in your head



Past lives, past lives

You can never put the ghost to bed

Get the feeling that you live forever she said



In another world when dreams collide

To the mocking bird of faith we tied

She comes to pass but not to stay

Through the looking glass, she fades away



Welcome to the house of usher



An angel came to me last night

She sold me down the river of life
