Bruce Cockburn - Abduction Lyrics

Abduction Song Lyrics
Abduction by Bruce Cockburn I wake in sweats you've come to steal my life away
Some strange electric glow of artifical day
The power breaker's closed the grid of darkness falls
Shining gleaming black as night burning all the light

What do you want from me
I sense your mastery
There's something you won't ever find
So have your way with me
This prisoner is never free
Rip me up leave me behind

Are you the truth to sit in judgement on my sins
Evil maze of gadgets come to penetrate my skin
The hanging judge is open and I'm damned before his eyes
Another genesis that failed how many more have tried

What do you want from me
I sense your mastery
There's something you won't ever find
So have your way with me
This prisoner is never free
Rip me up leave me behind

Solo

And so the story goes I dreamt this long ago
Highways hidden in the sand reveal the troops I know
They took my worthless heart and spat it through their eyes
Abduction means the end for me a million years of misery

What do you want from me
I sense your mastery
There's something you won't ever find
So have your way with me
This soldier's lost his victory
Rip me up leave me behind
