Ezra Furman - Throne lyrics
[Ezra Furman - Throne lyrics]
I have come to a foreign shore
Looks familiar, I've been here before
There's my family, there's my house
But we don’t belong here, we’ve gotta get out
I’m a newborn baby. I’ve just been born
I’m ducking and dodging through
Tall stalks of corn
I’ll take the job if the money’s good
But an ancient strain runs in my blood
Forgotten language plays in my mind
I'm always searching for a word
I just can't find
Wouldn't make it a day out here
I couldn't get by
Without this underground network on
Which I rely
Change goes on in semi darkness
Long shadows in thе alley at dawn
Those who sow will soon harvest
Thosе who rule will soon
Be leaving the throne
We travel in tandem, we blend right in
But we lock eyes when we pass
A small nod of the chin
Suitcase in the closet
Supplies in the drawer
There may come a day when
You'll see us no more
I look calm and collected, I seem at ease
But in my mind the water's up past my knees
We're playing the long game
We're playing for keeps
We’re drawing our plans up
While the enemy sleeps
The fire is lit now, cat's out of the cage
We stand in the half-light at
The edge of the stage
You won't know it's happening
Till it's already done
And the queen in the shadows
Steps into the sun
Change goes on in semi darkness
Long shadows in the alley at dawn
Those who sow will soon harvest
Those who rule will soon
Be leaving the throne
Looks familiar, I've been here before
There's my family, there's my house
But we don’t belong here, we’ve gotta get out
I’m a newborn baby. I’ve just been born
I’m ducking and dodging through
Tall stalks of corn
I’ll take the job if the money’s good
But an ancient strain runs in my blood
Forgotten language plays in my mind
I'm always searching for a word
I just can't find
Wouldn't make it a day out here
I couldn't get by
Without this underground network on
Which I rely
Change goes on in semi darkness
Long shadows in thе alley at dawn
Those who sow will soon harvest
Thosе who rule will soon
Be leaving the throne
We travel in tandem, we blend right in
But we lock eyes when we pass
A small nod of the chin
Suitcase in the closet
Supplies in the drawer
There may come a day when
You'll see us no more
I look calm and collected, I seem at ease
But in my mind the water's up past my knees
We're playing the long game
We're playing for keeps
We’re drawing our plans up
While the enemy sleeps
The fire is lit now, cat's out of the cage
We stand in the half-light at
The edge of the stage
You won't know it's happening
Till it's already done
And the queen in the shadows
Steps into the sun
Change goes on in semi darkness
Long shadows in the alley at dawn
Those who sow will soon harvest
Those who rule will soon
Be leaving the throne
