Esprit de Cœur

All dressed up with nowhere to go Is there any justice in this world? On the sunset strip I break down and scream "Give me higher culture and a place to dream" And you say, "Where's your anger, where's your rage? Rage at the values of a dying age? Can we just lose our shirts tonight? Follow my lead" And you're hard enough to be that man But are you real enough to understand? I wish this night would never end, I could dance forever Like time is standing still, feel the rush whenever I'm Haunted by the dream, yeah the air tastes better That's the spirit moving in me Blow that trumpet, blow through the roof Blow through San Francisco at a hundred proof You were the final fruit of lust on the vine Held by a guardian angel with a dangerous mind You say, "I know your faith can be revived Don't sell your soul just to stay alive," and I say "You don't know what it takes to rule these times" And I'm hard enough to be that man 'Cause I'm real enough to understand I wish this night would never end, I could dance forever Like time is standing still, feel the rush whenever I'm Haunted by the dream, yeah the air tastes better That's the spirit moving And I'm understanding life, let it burn so sweetly I separate the man from the myth completely I realize after dark that the love won't leave me That's the spirit moving It's the scene in the movie where he makes his stand to say "We won't be happy 'till we give our lives away" Will you still love me when the spotlight fades? Ah that's some real shit, ain't it? I wish this night would never end, I could dance forever Like time is standing still, feel the rush whenever I'm Haunted by the dream, yeah the air tastes better That's the spirit moving And I'm understanding life, let it burn so sweetly I separate the man from the myth completely I realize after dark that the love won't leave me That's the spirit moving in me
