[00:16.528]I suppose you're entitled to know why I'm making contact
[00:24.028]With acqaintances scattered all over the land
[00:31.066]I'd promise you now and again that I'd honor the contract
[00:38.578]If it hadn't crumbled away in my hand
[00:45.848]Well, we broke that vow independently now
[00:52.850]But I don't know why you absolutely deny
[00:58.522]You bowed down
[01:00.092](you bowed down, you bowed down)
[01:05.832]You bowed down
[01:07.622](you bowed down, you bowed down)
[01:14.758]When you first looked away I might say it was really a kindness
[01:22.920]It must have hurt to see how dreams sour
[01:29.510]Now they say that justice and love are the next things to blindness
[01:36.810]Well, you're getting plenty of both of them now
[01:43.972]And so you parade where appointments are made
[01:51.020]And never meant to be kept unless you accept
[01:56.436]You bowed down
[01:58.232](you bowed down, you bowed down)
[02:04.024]You bowed down
[02:05.718](you bowed down, you bowed down)
[02:13.340]You'll value the burnt amber of falling leaves
[02:16.698]And you'll long to delay
[02:20.440]You feel their breath as they whisper
[02:22.818]It won't hurt you now to betray
[02:26.742]If you just bow down
[02:34.944]And now every time that we meet on the edge of hysteria
[02:42.276]You're helping them sell off some new party line
[02:49.318]I remember a time when you would have seemed so superior
[02:56.682]And now you say,
[02:57.602]"Will you please meet this good friend of mine." “
[03:03.840]So you're in demand as long as you kiss their hand
[03:11.260]But all the applause is for their name not yours
[03:16.784]You bowed down
[03:18.582](you bowed down, you bowed down)
[03:24.100]You bowed down
[03:25.476](you bowed down, you bowed down)
[03:31.538]You bowed down
[03:32.486](you bowed down, you bowed down)
[03:38.690]You bowed down
