lyrics

You'll regret it if you cross me
It's a sight you don't wanna see
We've been through all this before
You never seem to understand me
Need to break the code to set myself free
As I welcome the unknown

In the midnight hour
In the pouring rain
Knock, knock, knockin' at your door
When I break inside
Chains may be gone but my hands are tied
Need somewhere to lay me down

On the streets of gold
Let the light be my guide
Walk the streets of gold today
Always wanting more
Never take my eye from the prize
Keep on searching for the way
The way
The way

Creeping slowly down the hallway
Thinking about what you're gonna say
Evil lingers in your eye
Got to choose between the two ways
The flaming circle of the old days
All set up to bring me down

Time, it takes its toll
Been a while since I lost control
Nothing more that you can say
Have mercy on my soul
Can't find a way to fill that hole
You can't count the price I paid
I paid

On the streets of gold
Let the light be my guide
Walk the streets of gold today
Always wanting more
Never take my eye from the prize
Keep on searching for the way
The way
The way

On the streets of gold
Let the light be my guide
Walk the streets of gold today
Always wanting more
Never take my eye from the prize
Keep on searching for the way

On the streets of gold
Let the light be my guide
Walk the streets of gold today
Always wanting more
Never take my eye from the prize
Keep on searching for the way
The way
The way
