Lyrics for Giving Me Wings

You're a fool man You throw it away You kill her With your confidence In the old days The cause you embraced The simple things That people over complicate Speaking in lies Known to yourself You're speaking at length On all those days Will you come with me And we'll be ourselves And we'll walk into the light And you colour yourself In golden wings You're never yourself Not even with me Will you come with me? And we'll ask the dust It's on my way It's all my concentration Can hold But you alienate me You throw it down And you rip it off When nothing's feeling right And I'll show you how You can sellotape it on You're giving me wings So I don't have to jump And you're giving me will So I can carry on Dissimulate and celebrate this Time we had alone
