Over Your Shoulder
Echo And The Bunnymen · Singles (Songs Without Albums) [2012]
I'm here
The face on your head looks older
We're here
Never gonna change
Never gonna disappear
Stars shine down on me tonight
Doors close tight
Day of departure
Is near
Ears on your head
Don't hear
Never gonna change
Never gonna disappear
Stars shine down on me tonight
Doors close tight
Victims fall, ghosts descend
You get scared and I'll defend
I don't really care but I'll pretend
The good and bad right to the end, end, end
Look in the cellar
We're here
I've been meaning to tell you
I'm here
Never gonna change
Never gonna disappear
Stars shine down on me tonight
Doors close tight
Victims fall, ghosts descend
You get scared and I'll pretend
I don't really care but I'll defend
The good and bad right to the end, the end, end, end
End, end, end, end, end
Look over your shoulder
I'm here
The face on your head looks older
We're here
Never gonna change
Never gonna disappear
Never gonna change
Never gonna disappear
Never gonna change
Never gonna disappear
Never gonna change
Never gonna disappear
