Lyrics
To The Heart Of The Sun On The Back Of The Vulture, I'll Go
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.
I memorized the moves of a great culture
It gave way to the vulture and me
So, I decided to be through with the assassins and the kids
And kill for the thrill of silencing
Yes, throw yourselves away, don't save yourselves
Throw yourselves away, don't save yourselves
Father tried to find her but she's not there
Guess I lost those tracks in the city of despair
And, winding round the fact that things fall apart
Have a heart sister, don't you know you started to?
Yes, throw yourself away, don't save yourself
Throw yourself away, don't save yourself
In a theater of impatience
Records cause culture
As records break records
On the back of the vulture
I'll go into the heart of the sun
We have set the controls for one
Just like days of old, bad horses still get sold
Mistakes get made, I mean we blaspheme
Like mad eagles who think they've made the same ones extinct
Girl, you've got another thing coming
So throw yourself away, don't save yourself
So throw yourself away, don't save yourself
In the theater of impatience, records cause culture
As records break records on the back of the vulture
I'll go into the heart of the sun
We have set the controls for one
I'll go into the heart of the sun
We have set the controls for one
