Afghan Whigs Copernicus Lyrics
Copernicus by Afghan Whigs
Naked but for tears
While the sky falls down
Panting for the rush
Hissing through the crowd
Waving at the wheels
But I can't slow down
I'm riding
Riding through your town
So say what you got to say
Play, but you got to pay
Heavy is the head
But you wear no crown
Hang it in the sky
And step inside your dream
I know what I know
And with the lights down low
I'm riding
Riding down your street
So say what you got to say
Play, but you got to pay
She went to California
Painted in light
Till all the colors ran
Wild
You came to mesmerize her
She came with consequences in her eyes
In her eyes
Deep in her eyes
Listen in the the distance
As the sky begins to fall
Raining down like crystalline
Apocalypse in thrall
Rolling under
Torn asunder
Blinded by it all
Once there was a way
Then you were gone
While the sky falls down
Panting for the rush
Hissing through the crowd
Waving at the wheels
But I can't slow down
I'm riding
Riding through your town
So say what you got to say
Play, but you got to pay
Heavy is the head
But you wear no crown
Hang it in the sky
And step inside your dream
I know what I know
And with the lights down low
I'm riding
Riding down your street
So say what you got to say
Play, but you got to pay
She went to California
Painted in light
Till all the colors ran
Wild
You came to mesmerize her
She came with consequences in her eyes
In her eyes
Deep in her eyes
Listen in the the distance
As the sky begins to fall
Raining down like crystalline
Apocalypse in thrall
Rolling under
Torn asunder
Blinded by it all
Once there was a way
Then you were gone
