Glory Be Lyrics by Oingo Boingo

Dark at the End of the Tunnel

1990

[Intro]
Water's flowing through my veins
Nothing ever stays the same
Water's flowing down my side
Turn the water into wine
[Verse 1]
Where's the courage I once had?
Where's the strength I once possessed
To stand up tall and face the music
Laughing in the face of death?
[Pre-Chorus]
Here's a boy whose hands are bleeding
Though he's never had a scratch
Glory come and glory be
Water's flowing now at last
[Chorus]
Like a bad dream I once had where
Everyone but me knew something
Walking blind through burning fields
The dead brigade is on my heels
They follow me, they follow me...
They follow me, they follow me...
[Verse 2]
Water's flowing through my veins
Nothing ever stays the same
Flows outside for all to see
Water flows through you and me, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing ever stays the same
Water turns to wine again
Drink the wine and eat the wafer
Lash the skin and scream together
[Chorus]
Like a bad dream I once had where
Everyone but me knew something
Walking blind through burning fields
The dead brigade is on my heels
They follow me, they follow me...
They follow me, they follow me...
[Bridge]
(Ah) Water's flowing through me
(Ah) Cut me open; let me bleed
(Ah) Silence is golden
(But) Shout it out now, shout it out, shout...
[Verse 3]
Water's flowing through my veins
Nothing ever stays the same
Through eyes that once were blind with passion
Everything looks soft and grey
Without color or rough edges
Without fire to burn the skin
Without pride and without reason
Water turns to wine again
[Pre-Chorus]
Water's flowing through my veins
Tell me now it's all the same
Tell me that it doesn't matter
Tell me everything's all right
[Chorus]
Like a bad dream I once had where
Everyone but me knew something
Walking blind through burning fields
The dead brigade is on my heels
They follow me, they follow me...
They follow me, they follow me...
[Outro]
Water's flowing through my veins
Nothing ever stays the same
Glory come and glory be
Glory come to you and me, yeah
(You and me, yeah)
Water's flowing through my veins, oh, yeah
Water's flowing through my veins (Oh)
Water's flowing through my veins (Oh)
Water's flowing through my veins (Oh)
Water's flowing through my veins (Oh)
Water's flowing through my veins...
