Church Autumn Soon
The puppetmaster understands the need The jury needs to feel the greed And seeds revolve and grow and bleed The underlife tick tocks Pushing through my safe ideas Goodbye heroica you overdosed on years I ask you for a midnight, you give me a high noon When winter puts her hands on you It must be autumn soon Whatever happened to the leaves that used to fall Where's the candle I left spluttering in the hall What's the meaning of the siren's call I blame it on you all The underlife tick tocks And chimes away between Goodbye heroica, you're not needed for this scene The flaming dying sunset has collapsed like a balloon When winter puts her hands on you It must be autumn soon I thought I heard her voice upon the tide It was only the shells and stones that sighed Old Neptune tosses in the deep and scalds his mermaid bride And you know, I really tried The underlife tick tocks And changes into ash Goodbye heroica we only accept a cache I'm here to give you everything, do I have to stoop or croon When winter puts her hands on you It must be autumn soon
