Lyrics
The Writing Wall
You're gonna win it all
She whispers in my ear
I don't want to jinx it
But I'm curious
So I ask her how she
Knows the chips will fall
She says "I paid a call
To the writing wall"
Hey, let's go tonight
Out beyond the bridge
In the dark and thunder
Where the legends live
In between the flashes
We can try to make out the scrawl
On the writing wall
See the ancient stones
Dark and smooth and fine
Step a little closer and
Feel the rush of time
Press your ear against it
You can hear thousands of voices call
From the writing wall
