Lyrics
And the walls kept tum bl ing down in the ci ty that we love.
Great clouds roll o ver the hills, bring ing dark ness from a bove.
But if you close your eyes,
does it al most feel like noth ing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
does it al most feel like you’ve been here be fore?
How am I gon na be an op ti mist a bout this?
How am I gon na be an op ti mist a bout this?
Eh oh eh oh, eh, eh oh eh oh, eh, eh oh eh oh, eh, eh oh eh oh.
Eh oh eh oh, eh, eh oh eh oh, eh, eh oh eh oh, eh, eh oh eh oh.
