Pictures On My Wall
Echo And The Bunnymen · Killing Moon: The Best Of Echo & The Bunnymen [2007]
The sound of something burning
Something changing
On the merry-go-round tonight
The pictures on my wall
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all, love it all
Ooh, we should have
We should have got it right
Ooh, we should have
We should have got it right tonight
Can you hear it?
The sound of someone thinking
Heart's beating
On the merry-go-round tonight
The pictures on my wall
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all, love it all
Ooh, we should have
We should have got it right
Ooh, we should have
We should have got it right tonight
People come I count every one
Faces burning, hearts beating
Nowhere left for us to run
The pictures on my wall
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all, love it all
