Archer's Arrows Lyrics

Crowded House Archer's Arrows

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 facade 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 facade 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
