Stephin Merritt - Barbarians lyrics

The horsemen hang bells in the breeze
To fold back time with every chime
Come memories of songs they sang

For all their guns and greater forces
Barbarians stink of their horses
Imagine, time begins anew
With every chime

Let's not forget these people are
Barbarians everyone runs
But, how bizarre you haven't yet

I always knew someone would change things
We'll have to do some rather strange things

If this is true love is a crime
I don't know you

A single bird circles for landing
But how absurd nothing is standing


Nothing is true beauty remains
So much to do
