Idolness Of Gods
Echo And The Bunnymen · The Fountain [2009]
Like that could ever be
I'd say the world was crazy
If I'm just half the man I was
I'd say that's just because
I must have gotten lazy
Lazy...
In duty and in love
In beauty wearing off
Beware, be wary of
The Idolness of Gods
The Idolness of Gods
The Idolness of Gods
On the ropes against the tide
There's nowhere left to hide
Once you've seen my insides
Broken hope broke open wide
See the knock-out punch your pride
I've got you seats at ringside
Ringside...
In duty and in love
In beauty wearing off
Beware, be wary of
The Idolness of Gods
The Idolness of Gods
The Idolness of Gods
Oh, what now?
Oh, what now?
No, not now
No, not now
No, not now
No, not now
Nights and tears are falling down
Keep splashing to the ground
Eyelashes getting drowned-drowned
Life's frontiers grew walls around
New pastures can't be found
I'm crashing cars in your town
Your town...
In duty and in love
In beauty wearing off
Beware, be wary of
The Idolness of Gods
The Idolness of Gods
The Idolness of Gods
Idolness Of Gods
