lyrics

Hey hey little arrow
You’re covered in gold
Like a pharaoh
Dressed up for his tomb
Standing straight
With a smile
Standing up straight
To be embraced by the arms of his doom

Hey hey little song
I can read the palm
Lines, cut deep
In your hands
You couldn’t see them
Could you?
You had them dug deep
In the warmth of the sand

Hey hey little city
From a distance you’re pretty
It really
Isn’t so bad
To have the good fortune
To understand love
When you know
You’ve been had

I just wish I knew sooner
So I didn’t have to go
Along, and waste
So much time
And keep acting too proud
To go ahead
And accept
A little peace of mind
