Church - Ricochet lyrics

(Kilbey/Wilson-Piper/Koppes/Powles)

After the demise of our beloved leader

Everybody knew that something had to give

Cassandra she told me

But no-one would believe her

I wish I had helped her more than I did

We tried to overcome the threat of the monster

We tried to kneel down and call up the beast

Maria she told me

That her kid had just appeared one day

I just can't tell who I adore the least

The rivers run astray

Ricochet

Night feels just like day

Ricochet

And everybody just walk away

In one side of my mind resides a controller

In one side of my mind revolves a/the relief

And one pain in my brain remains unchanged

I say you cannot explain the grief

Once in a while when the wind has slowed down

Me and the girls visit struggle town

There's a shop down there

Selling skulls (spells/stones) and powder

But/we don't ask any questions about her/it

You can't be a lover if you want to keep on using

What are you using that's stronger than the love

Sometimes I'm knocked out by the damage that you're doing

Knocked out, locked out, push comes to shove

Listen to the wind tearing at the windows

Watching how the white moon melts into the cloud

Important little tyrants, impotent little pharaohs

Men/man of sorrows lost into the crowd

The rivers run astray

Ricochet

Night feels just like day

Ricochet

Everybody walk away

So if the ladies ask you over to play

Just beware of the ricochet
