Forget All That

from Season of the Moon by Michael McGuire

/

lyrics

Got to get away from all this it’s driving me crazy, Too much free time on my hands it’s making me lazy, All the world’s problems seem like mine I just can't seem to let them go, After all these years of guessing I can't believe that we don’t know, Sometimes I want to rip a hole in my heart just to watch it bleed, Because my soul is full of charity but my heart is full of greed, We can't ever get what we want so we take what we can get, We can't live with reason so we live with regret.

Forget all that and let's go out dancing, This is the night for the true romancing, Let's go down and pick up some wine, You know tonight could be so fine, Let's let love float to the top, Let's make love 'till we drop, The world is just a dream tonight, In the morning everything is gonna be alright.

All this make believe trouble; I just can't get it out of my mind, The tide rolled right out and left this pilgrim's soul behind, My ego tries to tell me that I’m some kind of saint, Got a landscape in my vision that I don’t know how to paint, I live in perpetual haste and silent confusion, Searching for the reality behind this illusion, I went down to the river to try and get clean, But purity made me hungry and liberty made me mean.

Forget all that and let's go out dancing, This is the night for the true romancing, Let's go down and pick up some wine, You know tonight could be so fine, Let's let love float to the top, Let's make love 'till we drop, The world is just a dream tonight, In the morning everything is gonna be alright.

Ah; the ghosts are really moaning tonight; I’m gonna move out of this haunted house, But I’m sure there is still a man somewhere inside this mouse, I just wonder if life is god’s best joke, Or if he’s waiting for the grand finale to go for broke, I laugh one day; I cry the next but I never waste my tears, I’m a burden of the future I’m a testament of the years, And freedom is my sentence and I’m busy doing time, It’s a shame but self defence is my only crime.

Forget all that and let's go out dancing, This is the night for the true romancing, Let's go down and pick up some wine, You know tonight could be so fine, Let's let love float to the top, Let's make love 'till we drop, The world is just a dream tonight, In the morning everything is gonna be alright.
