Icarus Lyrics

I took the hand of the corpse

Alone we danced the waltz

Her hair was golden brown

Eyes like licorice

She said, "The higher you go

The harder you'll fall

Well I'll make feather boa from Icarus"

Well lo and behold

And truth be told

They lied when they said

You'll reap what you sow

The deal has been done

The race has been run

Sowed salt on Carthage and ran

And now it's all gone

And now it's all gone

And now it's all gone

And now it's all gone

And now it's all gone

And now it's all gone

And now it's all gone

it's all gone, it's all gone

And now it's all gone

And now it's all gone

There is one thing I'm thinking of

You watch over in delight

At the feeble fire fight

Watch it burn to the ground

And light a cigarette

You stared at the ash and the sky

At Icarus' plight

The phoenix will not rise

You clipped it's wings

Well lo and behold

And truth be told

They lied when they said

You'll reap what you sow

The deal has been done

The race has been run

Sowed salt on Carthage and ran

And now it's all gone

And now it's all gone

And now it's all gone

And now it's all gone

And now it's all gone

And now it's all gone

And now it's all gone

it's all gone, it's all gone

And now it's all gone

And now it's all gone

There is one thing I'm thinking of

A cold wind a-blowing

And I'm choking

On my tongue

As I say these words,

One day I'll retire from the mire

To a place far away from here

One day I'll retire from the mire

To a place far away from here

One day I'll retire from the mire

To a place far away from here
