winter - flying fox and the hunter gatherers lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
every time we sing this song
an old man somewhere wrings his hands
in sad frustration
will he never learn?

[verse 2]
his tarry lungs don’t feel the air
can’t taste his ashen solace
but he knows this fire, he let it burn
and so will i

[verse 3]
a mother births a grateful child
in hopes that he will learn
to love his happiness
at least to say he’s tried

[verse 4]
but nature has her way with us
and my poor brother
is not immune to providence
he gives his hands away

[chorus]
it’s the same way we all have felt
this poor petty pity of self
the willing watch l-st, so insatiable
teething on our pride forever

[bridge 1]
there’s the castle, and there’s the king
and look, he’s lost his wedding ring:
all the world will have to suffer
search the forest, search the grounds
don’t let them rest until it’s found:
all the world will have to pay
but not me. ever
go!

[interlude]

[chorus]
it’s the same way we all have felt
this poor petty pity of self
the willing watch l-st, so insatiable
teething on our pride forever

[bridge 2]
the palace halls ring deadly quiet and all because of you
in your abandonment, you cut their throats, you fool
