Copernicus - The Afghan Whigs

Naked but for tears

While the sky falls down

Panting for the rush

Hissing thru the crowd

Waving at the wheels

But I can’t slow down

I’m riding, riding thru your town

So say what you got to say

Play, but you got to pay

Heavy is the head

But you wear no crown

Hang it in the sky

And step inside your dream

I know what I know

And with the lights down low

I’m riding, riding down your street

So say what you got to say

Play, but you got to pay

She went to California

Painted in light

Til all the colors ran­

Wild

You came to mesmerize her

She came with consequences in her eyes

In her eyes

Deep in her eyes

Listen in the the distance

As the sky begins to fall

Raining down like crystalline

Apocalypse in thrall

Rolling under

Torn asunder

Blinded by it all

Once there was a way­

Then you were gone
