Afro Celt Sound System - Rise Above It Lyrics

Cracking walls inside my head
With a bottle full of rain
I promised to the coaster
I wouldn’t tear it up again
Flick a peanut, break a glass
I wish I didn’t sleep at Mass
And everything is closing up
Yet again I come in last

I saw it in a dream
It was another time
Everything was blue
Everything was fine

And you were always there
And I could see clear
I was always yours
You were always mine
Rise above it
Rise above it
Rise above it

I see her on the ceiling
She’s staring down in her gown
I had to make allowances
Between my love and going out

Now everything is closing up
The last call is well asleep
At gigs I dance with a Blue Nun
Now heartburn is going cheap
I saw it in a dream
It was another time
And everything was true
Everything sublime

You were always there
And I could see clear
I was always yours
You were always mine

Rise above it
Rise above it

Rise above it
I saw it in a dreamIt was another timeEverything was true

Everything sublime
You were always there
And I could see clear
I was always yours
You were always mine

Rise above it
Rise above it
Rise above it
Rise above it
Rise above,
Rise above it
Rise above,
Rise above it
Rise above,
Rise above it
Rise above,
Rise above it
Rise above,
Rise above it

I wouldn’t tear it up again
I wouldn’t tear it up again
I wouldn’t tear it up again
I wouldn’t tear it up again
