Too Young To Kneel
Echo And The Bunnymen · Evergreen [1997]
When you're too scared to feel?
Who's gonna cure you
When the pain won't heal?
Who's gonna be there
When the world goes wrong?
Who's gonna tell you
You're the only one?
In my blood, in my soul
In this mind of mine
Can your touch turn me cold?
Make my glitter shine?
Who's gonna reach you
When you can't be caught?
Who's gonna teach you
What you can't be taught?
Who's gonna beat you
When you won't be fought
Who's gonna buy you
When you can't be bought
In my blood, in my soul
In this mind of mine
Can your touch turn me cold?
Make my glitter shine?
Who's gonna pray for you
When you're too young to kneel?
Who's gonna fake it
When it gets too real?
One more question answered
In the falling star
I heard they found
Death on Mars
In my blood, in my soul
In this mind of mine
Can your touch turn me cold?
Make my glitter shine?
In my blood, in my soul
In this mind of mine
Can your touch turn me cold?
Make my glitter shine?
