Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the heat of the night
In the heat of the day
When I close my eyes
[Verse 2]
When I look your way
When I meet the fear that lies inside
When I hear you say
In the heat of the moments
Say, say, say
[Verse 3]
Some day, some day
Some day, Dominion
Come a time
[Verse 4]
Some day, some day
Some day, Dominion
Some say prayers, some say prayers
I say mine
[Verse 5]
In the light of the facts
On the lone and level
Sand stretch far away
In the heat of the action
In the settled dust
Hold, hold, and scream
[Verse 6]
In the meeting of mind
Down in the streets of shame
In the betting of names on gold to rust
In the land of the blind
Be, a king, a king, a king, a king
[Verse 7]
Some day, some day
Some day, Dominion
Come a time
[Verse 8]
Some day, some day
Some day, Dominion
Some say prayers, some say prayers
I say mine
[Verse 9]
In the land of the blind
Be, a king, a king, a king, a king
Some day, some day
Some day, Dominion
Some say prayers, some say prayers
I say mine
[Verse 10]
In the heat of the night
In the heat of the day
When I close my eyes
[Verse 11]
When I look your way
When I meet the fear that lies inside
When I hear you say
In the heat of the moments
Say, say, say
[Verse 12]
Some day, some day
Some day, Dominion
Some say prayers, some say prayers
I say mine
I say mine
[Verse 13]
We serve an old man in a dry season
A lighthouse keeper in the desert sun
Dreamers of sleepers and white treason
We dream of rain and the history of the gun
[Verse 14]
There's a lighthouse in the middle of Prussia
A white house in a red square
I'm living in films for the sake of Russia
A kino runner for the DDR
[Verse 15]
And the fifty-two daughters of the revolution
Turn the gold to chrome
Gift, nothing to lose
Stuck inside of Memphis with the mobile home, sing
[Verse 16]
Mother Russia, Mother Russia
Mother Russia rain down, down, down
Mother Russia, Mother Russia
Mother Russia rain down
[Verse 17]
Mother Russia, Mother Russia
Mother Russia rain down, down, down
Mother Russia, Mother Russia
Mother Russia rain down
[Verse 18]
Mother Russia, Mother Russia
Mother Russia rain down, down, down
Mother Russia, Mother Russia
Mother Russia rain down
[Verse 19]
Mother Russia, Mother Russia
Mother Russia rain down, down, down
Mother Russia, Mother Russia
Mother Russia rain down
