Earthly Songtext
von Marc Almond

You came out of the ether
Like a mythical creature
You came out of the ether
And into my heart
An elemental creation
With a royal carnation
And into the Eden
My life did depart
But as our Gods have feet of clay
I just chose to look away

All too earthly, all too real
But you won′t know the way I feel
All too earthly soul of steel
You won't know the way I feel
All too earthly, thrown to the fire
How can I believe the words of a liar?
All too earthly, heart of stone
Best to walk this world alone


Just as your words set me dreaming
One day I found out that they had no meaning
Celluloid is slowly burning
As the tide of love is turning
But just as some cities are built on sand
All my dreams turn to dust in your hand, yeah

All too earthly, all too real
But you won′t know the way I feel
All too earthly soul of steel
You won't know the way I feel
All too earthly, thrown to the fire
How can I believe the words of a liar?
All too earthly, heart of stone
Best to walk this world alone without you
Without you

Eros and Icarus, we fall into one
You're Icarus, flying too near to the sun
Burning up, burning, your wings turn to ash
Falling now, falling, you′re soon to crash
You′re the star I've built my life around
Why did you have to go and let me down?

All too earthly
All on fire
Just the downfall of a liar
