Shining Path

you say how high the moon is
my pride bought with a kiss
so soon under your motion
my world ceased to exist
if you want to know
here is my confession
i was a man in the grip of obsession
now you ought to know
i made a big decision
more that a man i'm a man
with a mission
here it is my shining path
pale fire your one desire come true
cool thrill a wish fulfilled
take a trip from your head
to your heart
on the shining path
you'll know when this is over
one sign will say believe
just when you're so uncertain
you'll ask and you'll receive
now is when you show
a gesture of contrition
this kind of love
is the modern condition
this could be a blow
to my way of thinking
pride rising as the moon is sinking
