[00:16.528] | I suppose you're entitled to know why I'm making contact |
[00:24.028] | With acqaintances scattered all over the land |
[00:31.066] | I'd promise you now and again that I'd honor the contract |
[00:38.578] | If it hadn't crumbled away in my hand |
[00:45.848] | Well, we broke that vow independently now |
[00:52.850] | But I don't know why you absolutely deny |
[00:58.522] | You bowed down |
[01:00.092] | (you bowed down, you bowed down) |
[01:05.832] | You bowed down |
[01:07.622] | (you bowed down, you bowed down) |
[01:14.758] | When you first looked away I might say it was really a kindness |
[01:22.920] | It must have hurt to see how dreams sour |
[01:29.510] | Now they say that justice and love are the next things to blindness |
[01:36.810] | Well, you're getting plenty of both of them now |
[01:43.972] | And so you parade where appointments are made |
[01:51.020] | And never meant to be kept unless you accept |
[01:56.436] | You bowed down |
[01:58.232] | (you bowed down, you bowed down) |
[02:04.024] | You bowed down |
[02:05.718] | (you bowed down, you bowed down) |
[02:13.340] | You'll value the burnt amber of falling leaves |
[02:16.698] | And you'll long to delay |
[02:20.440] | You feel their breath as they whisper |
[02:22.818] | It won't hurt you now to betray |
[02:26.742] | If you just bow down |
[02:34.944] | And now every time that we meet on the edge of hysteria |
[02:42.276] | You're helping them sell off some new party line |
[02:49.318] | I remember a time when you would have seemed so superior |
[02:56.682] | And now you say, |
[02:57.602] | "Will you please meet this good friend of mine." “ |
[03:03.840] | So you're in demand as long as you kiss their hand |
[03:11.260] | But all the applause is for their name not yours |
[03:16.784] | You bowed down |
[03:18.582] | (you bowed down, you bowed down) |
[03:24.100] | You bowed down |
[03:25.476] | (you bowed down, you bowed down) |
[03:31.538] | You bowed down |
[03:32.486] | (you bowed down, you bowed down) |
[03:38.690] | You bowed down |
