Tears For Fears - Ladybird lyrics

Tell me a story of mind over matter The hope and glory of life ever after The sound and the fury the cloak and the dagger Days when we sink like a stone Porcelain portraits and silver medallions Plasticine soldiers that march in battalions Angels of mercy and lifelong companions Days when we sink like a stone There a room somewhere with a different look Where your secret life is an open book Where the love we made was a chance we took Days when we sink like a stone Ladybird fly away our friends are gone Ladybird fly away our house is on fire Let us be lovers we'll melt after midnight Hoist up the mainsail we'll coast through the daylight Twisted like candles that fade in the half-light Days when we sink like a stone Well we die sometimes to begin again When the same old dreams have the same old end When we lose our mind or we lose our friends Days when we sink like a stone Ladybird fly away our friends are gone Ladybird fly away our house is on fire Ladybird fly away our friends are gone Ladybird fly away our house is on fire Your friends have gone Porcelain portraits and silver medallions Your friends have gone Plasticine soldiers that march in battalions Your friends have gone Angels of mercy and lifelong companions Tell me a story of mind over matter The hope and glory of life ever after The sound and the fury the cloak and the dagger Ladybird fly away our friends are gone Ladybird fly away our house is on fire
