Ian Gillan
The Surprising
[Verse 1]
It wasn't quite the curse of Tutankhamen
Or the kiss of death from Judas in the night
And it felt so far beyond the blue horizon
Tempting me with transports of delight

[Chorus]
And then the devil took my hand and said
Come along with me

[Verse 2]
Oh, there I was, wide awake and dreaming
Reaching out for something in the sky
But I could not control that trembling feeling
Everything I want is slipping by

[Chorus 2]
Oh, and the devil took my hand and said
Something you should see (Come along with me)

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude]
(Come along with me)
[Verse 3]
I never knew what happened to my nightmare
Everything went dark that August day
And the eclipse was on the other side of somewhere
But I was on the upside of afraid

[Chorus 3/Outro]
And then an angel took my hand and said
Come along with me (Come along with me)
