Tell me a story of mind over matter
The hope and glory of life ever after
The sound and the fury the cloak and the dagger

Days when we sink like a stone

Porcelain portraits and silver medallions

Plasticine soldiers that march in battalions
Angels of mercy and lifelong companions
Days when we sink like a stone


There a room somewhere with a different look
Where your secret life is an open book

Where the love we made was a chance we took
Days when we sink like a stone


Ladybird fly away our friends are gone
Ladybird fly away our house is on fire


Let us be lovers we'll melt after midnight
Hoist up the mainsail we'll coast through the daylight
Twisted like candles that fade in the half-light

Days when we sink like a stone

Well we die sometimes to begin again

When the same old dreams have the same old end
When we lose our mind or we lose our friends
Days when we sink like a stone


Ladybird fly away our friends are gone
Ladybird fly away our house is on fire

Ladybird fly away our friends are gone
Ladybird fly away our house is on fire


Your friends have gone
Porcelain portraits and silver medallions
Your friends have gone

Plasticine soldiers that march in battalions
Your friends have gone
Angels of mercy and lifelong companions


Tell me a story of mind over matter
The hope and glory of life ever after

The sound and the fury the cloak and the dagger

Ladybird fly away our friends are gone

Ladybird fly away our house is on fire
