Harmony Hall

Lyrics

We took a vow in summertime
 Now we find ourselves in late December
 ♪
 I believe that New Year's Eve
 Will be the perfect time for their great surrender
 But they don't remember
 Anger wants a voice, voices wanna sing
 Singers harmonize till they can't hear anything
 I thought that I was free from all that questionin'
 But every time a problem ends, another one begins
 And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
 Anybody with a worried mind could never forgive the sight
 Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
 I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
 Ooh, ooh, ooh
 I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
 ♪
 Within the halls of power lies a nervous heart that beats
 Like a Young Pretender's
 Beneath these velvet gloves I hide
 The shameful, crooked hands of a moneylender
 'Cause I still remember
 Anger wants a voice, voices wanna sing
 Singers harmonize till they can't hear anything
 I thought that I was free from all that questionin'
 But every time a problem ends, another one begins
 And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
 Anybody with a worried mind could never forgive the sight
 Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
 I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
 Ooh, ooh, ooh
 I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
 ♪
 And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
 Anybody with a worried mind could never forgive the sight
 Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
 I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
 ♪
 Ooh, ooh, ooh
 I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
 And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
 Anybody with a worried mind could never forgive the sight
 Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
 I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
