Archer's Arrows Songtext
von Crowded House

Kids kissing on the floor, they make a work of art
Upon the gallery wall, they take the world apart
And no one′s safe, the tension on the string
We're almost there, it′s time to reign over the king

The archer fires away (send an arrow up)
We hope to rise again (like an invitation)
Aim high, then the arrow comes down
Take out the pale imitation

The whole façade is wearing thin
We'll just paper over cracks
'Til people take the power back
Moving out the cavalcade
We live to fight another day
See the arrows fly


They tempt you with a prize, make you master of the house
You look so indifferent now with the sucker hanging from your mouth
But you can′t be safe, you can′t betray your will
We're almost gone, it′s time to take over the hill

The archer fires away (send an arrow up)
We hope to rise again (like an invitation)
Aim high when the colors come down
Take out the pale imitation

The whole façade is wearing thin
We just paper over cracks
'Til people take the power back
Moving out the cavalcade
We live to fight another day
See the archer′s arrows fade, hey, hey

See the archer's arrows fade (hey, hey)
See the archer′s arrows fade (hey, hey)
See the archer's arrows fade

See the archer's arrows fade (hey, hey)
