We were wise, oh so wise Not given to lies or deceit We juggled secrets at our fingertips Wore diamonds at our feet We showed you ways to play old airs We said we could be friends But, when our backs were turned, you got us in the end
We're the mystery of the lake when the water's still We're the laughter in the twilight You can hear behind the hill We'll stay around to watch you laugh Destroy yourselves for fun But, you won't see us, we've grown sideways to the sun
