Lost Chord Songtext
von Duke Special

Never thought I′d lose my way
But the turns that I have taken
Have led me down a corridor
That I don't recognize
Every door is bolted tight
And offers no solution
Slumped upon a concrete floor
Clinging on to life

I remember something once I might have heard
It was stolen from the cradle by a bird

Everybody′s looking for
That long lost chord
Are we ever gonna find
That lost, lost...


Took a pill to feel the form
In spaces long abandoned
By some mysterious crimson song
That promised to be true
But who can pilgrim dazed and dull
With thirst so cruel and ardent
To understand the symphony
That's wrapped around our roots

Like the memory of the wind among the trees
There's a fingerprint that stayed upon the keys

Everybody′s looking for
That long lost chord
Are we ever gonna find
That lost, lost...

I want the world to make some sense
Want the world to make some sense
I want the world to make some sense
Want the world to make some sense

There′s a thorn that pricks and keeps me from my sleep
Like the lure of ships sunk fathoms in the deep

Everybody's looking for
That long lost chord
Are we ever gonna find
That lost, lost...
