Silver
Echo And The Bunnymen · Killing Moon: The Best Of Echo & The Bunnymen [2007]
Swung from a chandelier
My planet sweet on a silver salver
Bailed out my worst fears
Cause man has to be his own saviour
Blind sailors, imprisoned jailers
God tame us, no one to blame us
The sky is blue, my hands untied
A world that's true through our clean eyes
Just look at you with burning lips
You're living proof at my fingertips
Walked on a tidal wave
Laughed in the face of a brand new day
Food for survival thought
Mapped out the place where I planned to stay
All the way, well behaved
Just in case it slips away
The sky is blue, my hands untied
A world that's true through our clean eyes
Just look at you with burning lips
You're living proof at my fingertips
