I'm sorry that I'm late, I went blind |
|
I got confetti in my eyes |
|
I was held up at yesterday's parties |
|
I was needed on the Congo line |
|
But my dear, oh, my dear |
|
I'd like to fight the good fight for another couple of years |
|
Because to say the war is over is to say you are a widow |
|
You're not a widow yet |
|
You're not a widow yet |
|
You're not a widow yet |
|
You're not a widow yet |
|
So this one's for the critics and their disappointed mothers |
|
For the cupid and the hunter shooting arrows at each other |
|
Ain't no such thing as a saint, ain't no such thing as a sinner |
|
There's a swan among the pigeons of Barcelona's floor |
|
There's a Samson with Delilahs lining up outside the door |
|
If you are sharpening your scissors, I am sharpening my scissors, and I am sharpening my sword |
|
So you can take me to the dragon's lair or you can take me to Rapunzel's windowsill |
|
Either way it is time for a bigger kind of kill |
|
A bigger kind of kill |
|
I see your face when I close my eyes |
|
I see the muscles in your legs from the way you always rise |
|
To the occasion of catching things that fall |
|
Like the statuettes on pedestals I tend to build to tall |
|
But I have navigated Iceland (I have navigated Iceland) |
|
I laid my claim on Portugal (I laid my claim on Portugal) |
|
I have seen into the wasteland (I have seen into the wasteland) |
|
Of the future (of the future) |
|
Of the future of us all |
|
I kicked up a whole country of dead, dead leaves last fall |
|
I kicked up a whole country of dead, dead leaves last fall |
|
dead leaves |
|
dead leaves |
|
dead leaves |
|
dead leaves |
|
Seen from the back of a train (Seen from the back of a train) |
|
I rode away from your station (I rode away from your station) |
|
They drifted in the air (They drifted in the air) |
|
Like memoirs of old conversations (Like memoirs of old conversations) |
|
Sprung from a leather case (Sprung from a leather case) |
|
You opened in the wind (You opened in the wind) |
|
To watch the papers chase each other (To watch the papers chase each other) |
|
Into oblivion |
|
You're such a champion |
|
You're such a champion |
|
I hide behind your sun |
|
You are the champion |
|
And you're such a champion (You're such a champion) |
|
And you're such a champion (You're such a champion) |
|
I hide behind your sun (I hide behind your sun) |
|
You are the champion (You are the champion) |
|
And you're such a champion (You're such a champion) |
|
And you're such a champion (You're such a champion) |
|
I hide behind your sun (I hide behind your sun) |
|
You are the champion (You are the champion) |
|
So you can take me to the dragon's lair or you can take me to Rapunzel's windowsill |
|
Either way it is time, it is time for a bigger kind of kill |
|
A bigger kind of kill |
|
A bigger kind of kill |
|
A bigger kind of kill |
|
A bigger kind of kill |
|
A bigger kind of kill |
|
A bigger kind of kill |
|
A bigger kind of kill |
|
A bigger kind of kill |
|
A bigger kind of kill |
|
A bigger kind of kill |
|
A bigger kind of kill |
|
A bigger kind of kill, kill, kill, kill, kill |
|
A bigger kind of kill |
|
A bigger kind of kill |
|
A bigger kind of kill |
|
A bigger kind of kill, kill, kill, kill, kill |
