Patrick Wolf - The Libertine lyrics

The motorway won't take a horse
The wanderer has found a course to follow
And the traveller unpacked his bags
For the last time
And the troubadour cut off his hand
Now he wants mine

Oh, no oh, no
Not me oh, no

The circus girl fell off her horse
Now she's paralysed
And the hitchhiker was bound and gagged
Raped on the roadside
The libertine is locked in jail
The pirate sunk and broke his sail
But, I've still got to go i've got to go
So here I go
I'm gonna run the risk of being free
Being free being free
Being free

The magicians secrets all revealed
And the preachers lies are all concealed
And all our heroes lack any conviction
They shout through the bars
Of cliche and addiction

So I've got to go i've got to go
So here I go
I'm gonna run the risk of being free
Being free being free
Being free

And in this drought of truth and invention
Whoever shouts the loudest gets
The most attention
So we pass the mic and they've
Got nothing to say except:
"Bow down, bow down, bow down to your god"
And we hit the floor
And make ourselves an idol to bow before

Well I can't and I won't
Bow down anymore

No more
