"Vacant Possession" lyrics - EMERSON, LAKE & POWELL

Tell me where on this earth
Can I stand just an ordinary man
In this storm of confusion?
See you later, no debate
You're on the ice and in the hands of fate

Way out in space, lost in flight
Like an arrow in the night
Just flying on with muses
Beyond the point of no return
You can go across the bridge's afterburn

So tell me what do you say when all is said and done?
I can see it in your eyes, this desert and sun
Ooh will you sleep? Forever on the run

Love may come a stranger to you and I
Two labourers from this danger, it's do or die
Any fool can see it as they walk on by
I'm leaving the lights on, vacant possession, vacant possession

Time rushes by like the wind
And it leaves you standing here
In this room full of memories
And as I watch the snowflakes fall
Your love turns cold like a shadow on the wall

Night after night in this room
I feel the walls are closing in
They just squeeze my existence
Leaving more of my design
The bullet cuts the joker, yes

So tell me what do you say when all is said and done?
I can see it in your eyes, this desert and sun
Ooh will you sleep? Forever on the run

Love may come a stranger to you and I
Two labourers from this danger, it's do or die
Any fool can see it as they walk on by
I'm leaving the lights on, vacant possession

I'm in a new land but I cannot see the lights
I wanna bring it in but I'm totally missing this flight
So help me like a pilot in the night

Love may come a stranger to you and I
Two labourers from this danger, it's do or die
Any fool can see it as they walk on by
I'm leaving the lights on, vacant possession

Love may come a stranger to you and I
Two labourers from this danger, it's do or die
Any fool can see it as they walk on by
I'm leaving the lights on, vacant possession, vacant possession
