On the street of villains taken for a ride   You can have the devil as a guide   And crippled by the boundaries, programmed into guilt   'Til your nervous system starts to tilt      And in the room of mirrors you can see for miles   But everything that's there is in disguise   Every word you've uttered and every thought you've had   Is all inside your file, the good and the bad      But in the rising sun   You can feel your life begin   Universe at play inside your DNA   And you're a billion years old today      Oh the rising sun   And the place it's coming from   Is inside of you and now your payment's overdue   Oh the rising sun, oh the rising sun      On the avenue of sinners I have been employed   Working there 'til I was near destroyed   I was almost a statistic inside a doctor's case   When I heard the messenger from the inner space      He was sending me a signal that so for long I had ignored   But he held on to my umbilical cord   Until the ghost of memory trapped in my body, mind   Came out of hiding to become alive      And in the rising sun   You can hear your life begin   And it's here and there, nowhere and everywhere   Though it's atmosphere is rare      Oh the rising sun   And the place that it's coming from   Is inside of me and now I feel it constantly   Oh the rising sun, oh the rising sun      But in the rising sun   You can feel your life begin   Universe at play inside your DNA   You're a billion years old today      Oh the rising sun   And the place it's coming from   Is inside of you and your payment's overdue   Oh the rising sun, oh the rising sun, oh the rising sun
