On the street of villains taken for a ride

you can have the devil as a guide

crippled by the boundaries, programmed into guilt

'til your nervous system starts to tilt.



And in the room of mirrors you can see for miles

but everything that's there is in disguise

every word you've uttered and every thought you've had

is all inside your file, the good and the bad.



But in the rising sun you can feel your life begin

universe at play inside your DNA

you're a billion years old today

oh the rising sun and the place it's coming from

is inside of you and now your payment's overdue

oh the rising sun, oh the rising sun.



On the avenue of sinners I have been employed

working there 'til I was near destroyed

I was almost a statistic inside a doctor's case

when I heard the messenger from inner space

he was sending me a signal that so for long I had

ignored

but he held on to my umbilical cord

until the ghost of memory trapped in my body mind

came out of hiding to become alive.



And in the rising sun you can hear your life begin

and it's here and there nowhere and everywhere

though it's atmosphere is rare

oh the rising sun and the place that it's coming from

is inside of me and now I feel it constantly

oh the rising sun, oh the rising sun, oh the rising

sun.



But in the rising sun you can feel your life begin

universe at play inside your DNA

you're a billion years old today

oh the rising sun and the place it's coming from

is inside of you and now your payment's overdue

oh the rising sun, oh the rising sun, oh the rising

sun.
