New Direction (original version) Lyrics

Out on a limb
Did you see what the cat dragged in?
Take it on the chin
Catching fire on a roof of tin
You've learned to speak and you're professing
The right to teach us our direction
But I found out on close inspection
True imperfection

I'm looking for a new direction
Where in the world am I?
I took the word, the word was resurrection
And then you took me out to climb

Higher and higher...
Kissing the spires
Higher and higher...
Soul's on fire

Inside of my head
I heard what the good lord said
Beware he said
If you don't you might end up dead
You suck the air right out of me
But though you suck you cannot see
That life and living is not free
Though you live, you do not breathe
I'm looking for a new direction
Where in the world am I?
I took the word, the word was resurrection
And then you took me out to climb

Higher and higher...
Kissing the spires
Higher and higher...
Soul's on fire

I have changed but still my heart remains intact
And true love stays but will our hearts retain their lack of
No sense and no direction
Who in the world am I?
I took the word, the word was resurrection
And then you took me out to climb
Higher and higher...
Kissing the spires
Higher and higher...
Soul's on fire

I was told when I was seven
All good things must go to Heaven
All my evils would be blessed
If to God I did confess
He'd wipe the slate of sin and fire
Ate the bread and drank the wine
So as your leaving all the fake processions
Just grab a bottle and start confessing
Start confessing
Get to Heaven...
