The Clientele - As the World Rises and FallsLyrics

Your eyes have grown tired of Hunting for the fox and the owl For smooth stones And a safe place to hide In the hills is near your home Now you walk with bare feet through the wet sand And a boy sees you and comes running over And stands for forty meters away Wanting to walk on water To turn you on But you don't pay any attention at all As the world rises and falls Now you have a woman's shape Thunderbolts in your fingertips He has his eyes pinned on you Be careful, he has whips and chains And he plays ancient games Over anyone standing in his way He can change the color of the sky If he wants to But its only magic use to him Don't be easily taken Or he won't remember you at all As the world rises and falls I tried to tell you not to love him Strongly as you did You'll go out again someday But you won't forget him for a long time He tore the mask off your face And then put you down And made you want him More than anyone before And then he walked away And you don't hear from him at all
