Faith No More – The Cowboy Song
Author: adminCLICK HERE to buy Faith No More’s music
on CD or mp3 from our Amazon Associate store!
A “hidden gem” from Faith No More… at the end of the “Live At Brixton Academy” album, there are a couple of bonus studio tracks.
I always thought that this song, The Cowboy Song, was up there with FNM’s best work, and yet somehow it remains relatively unknown…
And here’s the lyrics, as best we’re aware, for those that are looking for them…
Faith No More – The Cowboy Song
Tears fall, They scarred your innocent teens.
Love’s fool, The company you envy.
Leaves fall, The seasons pass you by.
And you think, that maybe you can fly.
Serious fool, Relate your mind to a girl.
Crowds form, But think, smiling, of his peril.
Buildings fold, The pavement isn’t there.
But whats the last thing that goes through your head?
You take the elevator to the top,
The next thing you know,
There you are standing on the edge.
And all the flashing lights and futile cries,
They’re left with you now,
Just close your eyes and take that final step.
Wasteful, They dampen your will to live.
Dice fall, Release pleasure that you give.
You fall, And take the whole world with you.
And will you even bother to look down?
You take the elevator to the top,
The next thing you know,
There you are standing on the edge.
The victors there to turn you inside out,
So recognise me,
Before you find out what’s inside your head!
(GUITAR SOLO)
You take the elevator to the top,
The next thing you know,
There you are standing on the edge.
Whats left is left and turns you inside out,
So recognise me,
Before you find out what’s inside your head.
And all the flashing lights and futile cries,
They’re left with you now,
Just close your eyes and take that final step,
Just close your eyes and take that final step…….
