James - Of Monsters And Heroes And Men lyrics
Your rating:
Stray cats With fish heads Feeding their litters Feral kids fight Over rats tailed From gutters Bookie mouth brokers Rotten fruit sellers Pickpockets ghost Through the crowd He climbs onto boxes By market stall traders Toothless and grey haired Thousand yard stare He had a vision Which broke the receiver Receiving transmission Surface to air Either way I'm in awe of you Either way We'll survive We'll survive Conjuring devils Angels and demons Only the children See shape to his tone Laughing and crying His song fell upon us We buried his treasure Along with the bones Arms held aloft A Y to the sky Innocent witness He testified Drained of his purpose He falls off the quayside Absorbed by the ocean Rolled by the tide Either way I'm in awe of you Either way We'll survive Either way I'm in awe of you Either way We'll survive We'll survive Under the power lines Which crackle and sparkle Under the freeway Now mostly rubble The hungry still gather To fill up with stories Of monsters And heroes and men Under the stars Which prick us And call us Connect us to hope That perfection's Within is Here on the ground We're reckless And hopeless Damned by The slip of a pen Rambling poets Manic with vision We are the drivers yet We feel driven Moths in the moonlight Fooled by a flashlight Caught in a jam jar Gasping for air Rambling poets Manic with vision We are the drivers yet We feel driven Moths in the moonlight Fooled by a flashlight Caught in a jam jar Gasping for air Either way I'm in awe of you Either way We'll survive We'll survive
