Icarus Wings Lyrics

Tom Baxter Icarus Wings

the stars conspired to bring me here
on a date like this
the sun beats down upon my prow
like a wounded star

what did you want from me?
why did you bring me here?
i'm facing my foolish fate oh
i'm too high, too close to the sun
i'm too high, my curious Icarus wings
melt from my skin

don't stand, don't stand so close to me
i'll bring you down
but i'll fly, oh i'll fly beneath the sun
you can watch me burn, oh, watch me burn

what did you want from me?
why did you bring me here?
i'm facing my foolish fate oh
i'm too high, too close to the sun
i'm too high, my curious Icarus wings
melt from my skin

(instrumental)

i'm too high, too close to the sun
i'm too high, my curious Icarus wings
melt from my skin

i'm too high, i'm too high
i'm too high, i'm too high...

oooh
i'm too high, i'm too high
i'm too high, i'm too high...

oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no...
