Lyrics Simple Minds

Simple Minds

Take a Step Back

Go tell it on the mountain, like it burst forth like a fountain

Try to shake the deep foundations of this land

High up on lover's land, they got hotel rooms so grand

And no one here knows what goes behind closed doors

Take a step back to the middle of the track

You know it's rumored all around, says you know it's come to town

Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track

'Cause the rumors are around said you're coming back to town

And with every little lie, you come and never blink an eye

You know you've got yourself all tied up when you're around

I've got the modern world behind me, like a needle in a haystack find me

They build you up and then they're going to burn you down

So take a step back to the middle of the track

The rumors all around, said you're coming back to me

Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track

Says you know it's going upside, you know what's going down

I'm haunted by the wanderer deep inside

Wanted by, haunted by

I'm haunted by the wanderer that's deep in my soul

Gonna look back to the middle of the track

And you know it's going upside

Le, le, da, le

Telling me, ah ha, uh hu

Ooh, look back to the middle of the track

And you know it's going upside

Telling me, ah ha, uh hu

Don't tell me it's a bad dream

Don't tell me it's not what it seems

Don't tell me pretty soon you know

You gonna call me now

Gotta stop the roller coaster

Gotta make the most of it

Gonna pull you down

Gotta make the most of it

Better pull you down
