Goldfish And Metermaids Lyrics & Chords By Ghost Bees

The old man waves at nothing
And I sit at the window with my legs closed
Glory lost
Hide your lesioned body
hide your ragged clothes

Your rivers of restored swords,
goldfish, and metermaids
were slivered and kissed by napalm
you were here- they punctured every orifice
quivering, wet, and shining

you were here, i thought i saw you
running from the gas
stinging eyes and child's tears
a melody we can't forget
'cause when you left, you took the whole world with you
forgot a flaming city behind you were here

Rise! Rise! Rise!
the aviators fly
caressing bombs so delicate,
they pirouette the sky.

Down! Down! Down!
the tiny pellets flew
Gas creeps upon the rice fields
wreathed in human stew.

but you were here, i thought i saw you
running from the gas
stinging eyes and child's tears
a melody we can't forget
'cause when you left
you took the whole world with you
forgot a flaming city behind you were here.

we wrapped our wounds
with burnt leaves and revolution
found a voice, but lost religion
a brave new vision with copper creeds
while we ate freedom and animal feed
and waited for your return...

and now you're back with baseball caps
unsteady eyes averted to the ground
reoccurring nightmares fractured in your skull
we were so young then
just stupid kids with loaded guns
we were someone else then
unspoken sins that we had done.

the shadowed tribe we have become

but you were here, i thought i saw you
running from the gas
stinging eyes, and child's tears,
a melody we can't forget
cause when you left
you took the whole world with you
forgot a flaming city behind you
yes, when you left
you took our whole world with you
were here
were here
were here
