Song Description

Groovy, moody song about the temporalness of success, riches, life.

Lyrics

Darkness called out to you and
Wanted to seduce you when you were vulnerable
Rubies red and shimmering
Riches incomprehensible
Catch you when you stop to breath
Catch you in the web they weave

But they won't be long, they won't be long
They won't be long to this world, they won't be long
Cause once you've tasted from the tree
Eve's candy apple you will eat

I saw a city from afar; she tempted me to enter her
The teaming lights that looked like stars
Reaching for me from afar
And in her gates they greet you with palms
Treat you like the king of the world

Cause it won't be long, it won't be long
it won't be long to this world, it won't be long
Cause shadows rise and shadows fall
What once was clear isn't clear at all

Cause you're out there burning at the stake
You've got to get right back, don't hesitate
Post modern flag flying in the sky,
Changing colors before your eyes.
And if you believe only with your eyes,
You might find out they were tellin' lies.

Tellin' lies, tellin' lies.
