Blameless Lyrics

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah Blameless

Why didn't I just walk away?
I see what they've done to boys who refuse to bow down
Funny hour of the setting sun
I burn right through the core of the earth to warn you about it
The latest trend is to pretend
And know what to follow around
And you stare at the ceiling and leave me to steal from you
You're walking away now, but I will not take anything
What's done is done
Set them up, I will knock them down
You're about to be stranded like me in this blameless American town
Don't let them get to you
Did you think they'd be tying your shoes
Did you think they'd be bringing you around?
Your will just bends, as you pretend
And no one's around
You stare at the ceiling, and leave me to steal from you
You're walking away now, but I will not take anything
What's done is done
And the farmer's lost in the quicksand now, it is done
And I haven't strength for the fixing now, it is done
To a mother and me, and the silence full of leaves
And the softest of touches will keep us from gnawing at the earth
And swinging at the breeze, and suddenly I
