Jon English The Shining Lyrics

The Shining Lyrics

The Colorado Ballroom is alive tonight

Masked people waitin' for
midnight

The gins on the table, drinkable, neat

And theres blood
and brains splattered on the Presidential Suite



And the ghosts and
the screams of yesterdays schemes

Echo round the bathroom in
two-seventeen

And the firehose lies innocent, ready to strike

And
the dogman sits grinnin', ready to bite



And its all shinin'
(shinin'), they were blinded by the lights

Look at it shinin' (shining),
they were calling them at nights

Sayin' hey, why dont you stay in the
darkness and the dust

Why dont you stay awhile and shine... with us



Ooh, she lies in her limbo, she bathes and she waits

With
hedge-lions guardin' the dark and frosted gates

Theres a little boy,
screaming for help with his mind as he hides

'Cause somethins comin' down
the corridor with jerky strides



And its all shinin' (shinin'), they
were blinded by the lights

And its all shinin' (shinin'), they were
calling them at  nights

And its all shinin' (shinin'), they were blinded
by the lights

And its all shinin' (shinin'), they were calling them at
nights

Sayin' hey, why dont you stay in the darkness and the dust

Why dont you stay awhile and shine with us



Looks like hell,
like hell, Jack Torrance knows it well

Look at it bubblin' in the boiler
at the Overlook Hotel



Shinin' (shinin'), they were blinded by the
lights

Look at it shining (shinin'), they were calling them at nights

Oh look at it shinin' (shinin'), they were blinded by the lights

Look
at it shinin' (shinin'), they were calling them at nights

Sayin' hey, why
dont you stay in the darkness and in the dust

All you gotta do is die, and
you'll shine with
