[Verse 1]

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

Until 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 files, the good and the bad

[Chorus 1]

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

[Verse 2]

On the avenue of sinners

I have been employed

Working there until 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 for so long I had ignored

But he held on to my umbilical cord

Until that ghost of memory

Trapped in my body, mind

Came out of hiding to become alive

[Chorus 2]

And, in the Rising Sun

You can hear your life begin

And it's here and there

Nowhere and everywhere

Though its 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

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 1]

And, 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

[Outro]

Oh, the Rising Sun

Oo-ooo-ooh...
