Lyrics
Movin through the streets at a half past twelve
Mama says to watch yourself
With the dirty demons all right behind
Tryin to get you in good time
Now you're movin slow heavy on your back
Carryin grudges that the demons lack
They just come up doin their job
Lookin for your soul to rob
Can't you see through your bionic eye?
As the sun begins to rise
You're losing everything along the way
On your way to a brighter day
Is this how the heavens meant it all to be?
Is your love so weak that it shivers in the breeze?
Is this how the heavens meant it all to be?
Is your love so weak that it shivers in the breeze?
And you let it all (2) fly away
Now you aint got no great disguise
Pullin up the collar to cover your eyes
Yes you're movin slow heavy on your back
Carrying grudges that the demons lack
Is this how the heavens meant it all to be?
Is your love so weak that it shivers in the breeze?
Is this how the heavens meant it all to be?
Is your love so weak that it shivers in the breeze?
And you let it all (2) fly away
