Up ahead in the distance

I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway

I heard the mission bell
A
And I was thinkin' to myself

This could be heaven or this could be hell

Then she lit up a candle

And she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor

I thought I heard them say

She got the Mercedes bends, uh

How they dance in the courtyard

Sweet summer sweat

Some dance to remember

So I called up the Captain

far away

Mirrors on the ceiling

The pink champagne on ice
And she said,
A
"We are all just prisoners here

of our own device"

And in the master's chambers

They gathered for the feast
Em
They stab it with their steely knives
F#
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember

I was running for the door
A
I had to find the passage back

To the place I was before

"Relax", said the night man

But you can never leave
