Verse 1

On the street of villains, taken for a ride
You can have the devil as a guide  
Crippled by the boundaries, programmed into guilt
'til your nervous system starts to tilt.  

Verse 2

And in the room of mirrors, you can see for miles
But everything that's there is in disguise  
Every word you've uttered and every thought you've had
Is all inside your file, the good and the bad.   

Pre-Chorus

But in the rising sun, you can feel your life begin
Universe at play, inside your DNA, and you're a billion years old today
Oh, the rising sun, and the place it's coming from
Is inside of you, and now your payment's overdue

Chorus

Oh, the rising sun, 
G A Cm | G | G A |
Oh, the rising sun.

Verse 3

On the avenue of sinners, I have been employed
Working there 'til I was near destroyed  
I was almost a statistic inside a doctor's case
When I heard the messenger from inner space  

Verse 4

He was sending me a signal that so for long I had ignored
But he held on to my umbilical cord  
Until the ghost of memory, trapped in my body mind
Came out of hiding to become alive.   

Pre-Chorus

And in the rising sun you can hear your life begin
And it's here and there, nowhere and everywhere
Though its atmosphere is rare
Oh, the rising sun and the place that it's coming from
Is inside of me, and now I feel it constantly

Chorus

Oh, the rising sun, 
G A Cm | G | G A |
Oh, the rising sun.

Pre-Chorus

But in the rising sun, you can feel your life begin
Universe at play, inside your DNA, and you're a billion years old today
Oh, the rising sun, and the place it's coming from
Is inside of you, and now your payment's overdue

Chorus

Oh, the rising sun, 
Oh, the rising sun, 

Chorus

Oh, the rising sun, 
Mh, mh-mh-mh
