Take a step back lyrics

Go tell it on the mountain

Like it burst forth like a fountain

Try to shake the deep foundations of this land

High up on lover's land

They got hotel rooms so grand

And no one here knows what goes behind closed doors

Take a step back to the middle of the track

Don't you know it's rumoured all around

Says you know it's come to town

Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track

'Cos the rumours are around said you're coming back to town

And with every little lie

You come and never blink an eye

You know you've got yourself all tied up

When you're around

I've got the modern world behind me

Like a needle in a haystack find me

They build you up and then they're going to burn you down

So take a step back to the middle of the track

The rumours all around

Said you're coming back to me

Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track

Says you know it's going upside, you know what's going down

I'm haunted by the wanderer deep inside

Wanted by

Haunted by

I'm haunted by the wanderer that's deep in my soul

Gonna look back to the middle of the track

And you know it's going upside

Le, le, da, le

Telling me

Ah ha, uh hu

Ooh look back to the middle of the track

And you know it's going upside

Telling me...

Don't tell me it's a bad dream

Don't tell me it's not what it seems

Don't tell me pretty soon you know

Gotta stop the roller coaster

Gotta make the most of it

Gonna pull you down

Gotta make the most of it

Better cool it down
