You Can See It From Here Lyrics

I see angels on wires around a tin foil sun

And the faithful all howl at the moon

The saints rejoice when there's dirt to be done

The chosen scratch their names on the head of a spoon

The boys in the back, playin' bones by the wall

Draw their knives and sharpen their skills

Because the fatted calf has gotten out of its stall

But the butcher is back and closing in for the kill

Cross my heart and hope to die

It's an ill wind that blows no good

If it keeps on blowing, by and by

It's gonna blows us away in all likelihood

I've been told that the end is nigh

It ain't always as it appears

I don't believe this is the end of the world

If you're so inclined and don't mind the climb

You can certainly see it from here

See it from here

Cain killed Able, Nietzsche killed God

Tell me what it is we've been learning

That you spoil the child when you spare the rod

And Nero's still fiddling while Rome is burning

It's a winding road a crooked man walks

And a narrow road a skinny man treads

But there's no road home when the darkness stalks

Like it or not, we'll all end up dead

I've been told that the end is nigh

It ain't always as it appears

I don't believe this is the end of the world

If you're so inclined and don't mind the climb

You can certainly see it from here

You can see it from here
