Marc Almond - Earthly lyrics

rate me

You came out of the ether

Like a mythical creature

You came out of the ether

And into my heart

An elemental creation

With a royal carnation

And into the Eden

My life did depart

But as our Gods have feet of clay

I just chose to look away

All too earthly, all too real

But you won't know the way I feel

All too earthly soul of steel

You won't know the way I feel

All too earthly, thrown to the fire

How can I believe the words of a liar?

All too earthly, heart of stone

Best to walk this world alone

Just as your words set me dreaming

One day I found out that they had no meaning

Celluloid is slowly burning

As the tide of love is turning

But just as some cities are built on sand

All my dreams turn to dust in your hand, yeah

All too earthly, all too real

But you won't know the way I feel

All too earthly soul of steel

You won't know the way I feel

All too earthly, thrown to the fire

How can I believe the words of a liar?

All too earthly, heart of stone

Best to walk this world alone without you

Without you...

Eros and Icarus, we fall into one

You're Icarus, flying too near to the sun

Burning up, burning, your wings turn to ash

Falling now, falling, you're soon to crash

You're the star I've built my life around

Why did you have to go and let me down?

All too earthly

All on fire

Just the downfall of a liar
