Thomas and The People

Dauphine

Well we got no money down on Dauphine
and we play on the street for groceries
and play on a stage for free
So we spend our time worrying
how to keep it all alive
because if we lose this music
we're gonna lose our minds

And its a seperate mentality
a loss of control
A conflicted reality
is all we have ever known

So I walk these old streets
and pass the bars of time
let the walls dance around me
and the daylight close its eyes
and miss orleans please tell me
my heart is not a stone
and the eyes of my lover
will never leave me alone

And its a seperate mentality
a loss of control
A conflicted reality
is all we have ever known

These people have found something
that no one will ever know
and it can't be bought be no rich man
for any weight of gold
and it's preached high up on the mountain
but can't be written in the news
and any man can take it
all he has to do is choose

And its a seperate mentality
a loss of control
A conflicted reality
is all we have ever known
