Church - Autumn Soon lyrics

The puppet master understands the need The jury needs to feel the greed And seeds revolve and grow and bleed Daytime sees a newer breed The under life tick tocks Pushing through my safe ideas Goodbye, heroica, you overdosed on years And I ask you for a midnight, you give me a high noon When winter puts her hands on you It must be autumn soon Whatever happened to the leaves that used to fall And where's the candle I left spluttering in the hall And what's the meaning of the siren's call I blame it on you all The under life tick tocks And chimes away between Goodbye, heroica, you're not needed for this scene And the flaming dying sunset has collapsed like a balloon When winter puts her hands on you It must be autumn soon I thought I heard her voice upon the tide It was only the shells and the stones that sighed Old Neptune tosses in the deep and scalds his mermaid bride And, you know, I really tried The under life tick tocks And changes into ash Goodbye, heroica we only accept cash I'm here to give you everything, do I have to stoop or croon? When winter puts her hands on you It must be autumn soon
