Church - Autumn Soon lyrics

rate me

The puppetmaster understands the need<br />

The jury needs to feel the greed<br />

And seeds revolve and grow and bleed<br />

The underlife tick tocks<br />

Pushing through my safe ideas<br />

Goodbye heroica you overdosed on years<br />

I ask you for a midnight, you give me a high noon<br />

When winter puts her hands on you<br />

It must be autumn soon<br />

<br />

Whatever happened to the leaves that used to fall<br />

Where's the candle I left spluttering in the hall<br />

What's the meaning of the siren's call <br />

I blame it on you all<br />

The underlife tick tocks<br />

And chimes away between<br />

Goodbye heroica, you're not needed for this scene<br />

The flaming dying sunset has collapsed like a balloon<br />

<br />

<br />

When winter puts her hands on you <br />

It must be autumn soon<br />

<br />

I thought I heard her voice upon the tide<br />

It was only the shells and stones that sighed<br />

Old Neptune tosses in the deep and scalds his mermaid bride<br />

And you know, I really tried<br />

The underlife tick tocks<br />

And changes into ash<br />

Goodbye heroica we only accept a cache<br />

I'm here to give you everything, do I have to stoop or croon<br />

When winter puts her hands on you<br />

It must be autumn soon
