"Salvation" lyrics

I make a wish for the things I miss
Lips kiss and I get older
A lonesome blues in the hippest shoes
Carries the weight of a wounded soldier to your door
And I close my eyes and I realize
That the darkness holds a sweet surprise

Salvation is a sweet sound
Vinnie Riley and the lips that would kiss
Imagination is the best friend that I've found
Saturation is the state I'm in
Salvation is a sweet sound
A fast train and the one I miss
Disintegration as the walls come tumbling down
Birmingham and East Berlin

Misinformation abounds, surrounds me
Drags me down and my best friend drowns
I look up to an empty sky
Here am I, where are you?
And the world seems to pass me by
And I close my eyes and I realize
That the darkness holds a sweet surprise

Salvation is a sweet sound
Vinnie Riley and the lips that would kiss
Imagination is the best friend that I've found
Saturation is the state I'm in
Salvation is a sweet sound
A fast train and the one I miss
Disintegration as the walls come tumbling down
Birmingham and East Berlin

And I walk and I close my eyes and I realize
That the darkness holds a sweet surprise
And we talk and I clench my fist
And I make a wish for freedom
Maybe when I'm older

Salvation is a sweet sound
Vinnie Riley and the lips that would kiss
Imagination is the best friend that I've found
Saturation is the state I'm in
Salvation is a sweet sound
A fast train and the one I miss
Disintegration as the walls come tumbling down
Birmingham and East Berlin

Salvation is a sweet sound
Vinnie Riley and the lips that would kiss
Imagination is the best friend that I've found
Saturation is the state I'm in
Salvation is a sweet sound
A fast train and the one I miss
Disintegration as the walls come tumbling down
Birmingham and East Berlin
