Lyrics
Heathen (The Rays)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Steel on the skyline
Sky made of glass
Made for a real world
All things must pass
Waiting for something
Looking for someone
Is there no reason?
Have I stared too long?
You say you'll leave me
And when the sun is low
And the rays high
I can see it now
I can feel it die
