David Sylvian - Small Metal Gods lyrics

rate me

It’s the farthest place I’ve ever been <br />It’s a new frontier for me <br />And you balance things <br />Like you wouldn’t believe <br />When you should just let things be <br /> <br /> <br />Yes, you juggle things <br />‘Cause you can’t lose sight <br />Of the wretched storyline <br />It’s the narrative that must go on <br />Until the end of time <br /> <br /> <br />And you’re guilty of some self-neglect <br />And the mind unravels for days <br />I’ve told you once <br />yes, a thousand times <br />I’m better off this way <br /> <br /> <br />I’m better off… this way <br /> <br /> <br />Where’s my queen of hearts <br />My royal flush <br />I have cleaned and scrubbed her decks <br />My suicide, my better days <br />There’s nothing I regret <br /> <br /> <br />I’ve placed the Gods <br />In a Ziploc bag <br />I’ve put them in a drawer <br />They’ve refused my prayers for the umpteenth time <br />So I’m evening up the score <br /> <br /> <br />Small metal gods <br />from a casting line <br />From a factory in Mumbai <br />Some manual labourer’s bread and butter <br />And a single-minded life <br /> <br /> <br />Small metal gods <br />Cheap souvenirs <br />You’ve abandoned me for sure <br />I’m dumping you, my childish things <br />I’m evening up the score<br /><br />
