crowded house
archer's arrows
Kids kissing on the floor They make a work of art Up on the gallery wall They take the world apart And no ones safe Put tension on the string We’re almost there It’s time to reign over the king The archer fires away, send an arrow up We hope to rise again, like an invitation Aim high and when the arrow comes down Take out the pale imitation The whole façade is wearing thin We just paper over cracks Til people take the power back Moving out the calvacade We’ll live to fight another day See the archer’s arrows fly They tempt you with the prize Make you master of the house You looking so indifferent now With the sucker hanging from your mouth But you can’t be safe You can’t betray your will We’re almost gone It’s time to take over the hill The archer fires away, send an arrow up We hope to rise again, like an invitation Aim high and when the colours come down Take out the pale imitation The whole façade is wearing thin We just paper over the cracks Til people take the power back Moving out the cavalcade We’ll live to fight another day See the archer’s arrows fade hey hey Soon find out if we made the mark Soon find out with an arrow in my heart hey hey See the archer’s arrows fade
