There are ligh

' towers that 

            
shine dark whe

     
n seen alone
             
Somewhere ther

              
e's a mountain

             
 that overlook

       
s the sea
             
I wonder if th

 and me
             
And I ain't no

              
 victim to a n

           
aive boy's dre

ams
             
But I wish you

             
 were here now

           
 to see these 

          
damned old spa

        
rklin' things

[Chorus]
             
It's a long ro

Long road)
             
It's a far dro

     
p to hell
             
I pray we outl

            
ive this fount

ain (Pray we o

utlive)
             
I reckon time

 (No matter wh

            
ere they've be

en)
              
And there are 

              
lights on spar

             
klin' towers
              
That I'll neve

'll never see 

       
them again)

[Verse 2]
             
I am not the p

             
erson that I w

And the things

             
 I'm seeing no

        
w will never b

/     
e the same
             
Do you think G

              
od's a person 

             
or the blinkin

   
g lights?
             
They reflect i

            
n her eyes whi

/          
le she walks t

           
hese streets a

    
t night
             
Do you think G

              
od’s a person 

             
or is He just 

      
the sound
             
Of laughter th

             
rough the wall

         
s in a place I

          
 haven't found

?

[Chorus]
             
It's a long ro

        
ad to heaven (

Long road)
             
It's a far dro

     
p to hell
             
I pray we outl

[Outro]
             
Do you think G

              
od’s a person 

             
or is He just 

      
the sound
             
Of early morni

          
n' creakin''on

            
 some floors w

        
ay out of town

?
             
I'm breathin' 

              
in a life and 

             
my legs are wo

       
rkin' fine
             
Do you think G

             
od's a person 

         
or the slowly 

       
passin' time?
