The Go-Betweens - Poison in the walls Lyrics

Album: Bright Yellow Bright Orange

Back and forward, eyes on the prize

Powder burns and lies

Medusa on the strings

And though you're fading fast

You thought you'd made it past

The guards and the dogs

Circuit lines and cogs

Machines that make you wings

Don't run on dirty oil

You're getting stale

But sometimes you see those eyes in the sky

There's poison in the walls

The revolution never called

And now we're all the same

For so long deep down and blue

There's nothing more that's new

And where's that brilliant juice

The flame that fired your heart

That made you want to start

Oh, oh let's go

And on with the show

The snake's up in the roof

Then the click of hoof

It's time to fly

But sometimes you see those eyes in the sky

There's poison in the walls

The revolution never called

So don't go outside like a child in the streets

Hanging on by claws

Another useless empty cause

And now we're all the same

Skin

And though you're fading fast

Your dreaming's free

But sometimes you see those eyes in the sky

There's poison in the walls

The revolution never called

So don't go outside like a child in the streets

Hanging on by claws

Another useless empty cause

And now we're all the same

Skin
