Lyrics
Wooden Echoes (Big Soul) by Paul Gallagher and Dory Balter
Verse
Dreams, of adoration
Oceans, of applause
Cutting her puppet strings
Wooden echoes
As she falls
Verse
Wooden echoes
In the phantom halls of Shangri-La
Wooden echoes move the veil
Of departure
Applause
Chorus
Cells of pain
Molecules of hope
Soaked in soul
Einstein wasn’t right
She went faster than the speed of light
Big soul
Verse
Rising from Pandora’s box
Tears, flowers, tattoos of fame
Undressing for all to see
No one can watch
The blaze
Verse
Wooden echoes, no return
Paradox of breath and death
Mistaken potions wrecked the body
Not the soul
She had a big soul
Chorus
Cells of pain
Molecules of hope
Soaked in soul
Einstein wasn’t right
She went faster than the speed of light
Big soul
Post - Chorus
She whispered
The day is done now
Wooden echoes
Back to black
Big soul
Cells of pain
Molecules of hope
Einstein wasn’t right
She went faster than the speed of light
Big soul
Instrumental Break
Outro
Wooden echos
Cells of pain
Molecules of hope
Einstein wasn’t right
She went faster than the speed of light
Soaked in soul
She whispered
The day is done now
Back to black
Wooden echos
Cells of pain
Molecules of hope
Einstein wasn’t right
She went faster than light
Back to black
