The Gates of Malpasso

You want it all

You drink your whiskey nice and tall

You like to question while you fall

You put your money on it all

You couldn't organize your mind

Now your thoughts race all the time

You're busy chasing them like flies and you can't stop them

I know it eats you up inside

Just like a needle in your spine

You can't refrain from telling lies from time to time

And you can call me up to talk

But you stay silent through it all

But I can see that you're still waiting at the gates

At the gates of Malpasso

I think about it daily as the world just makes me crazy

By the lighthouse where you stand

By the the voices of your worry

And the cold feet that you got will leave you paralyzed standing

As you question what you've gained

And what you are and what you're not

So you might come down here to see it

Like the roots, they're underneath it

And the ones that go the deepest

Hold the truths and all the secrets

To your heart

Now you got what you wanted

But you got all that was left

Yeah, I guess it must be timing

Yeah, I guess it's just a test

When you walk outside the door, you see them people talking left and right

And you were looking everywhere, you tried every door and key

Was it everything you wanted?

Was it everything you need?

When it ain't enough for you, you got another plan to seed

You were born to fight against it

Now the needle's in your spine

As you plant another seed outside the gates

At the gates of Malpasso

By the gates of Malpasso

Yeah, I'll meet you by the gates
