Marc Almond - Earthly lyrics

You came out of the ether Like a mythical creature You came out of the ether And into my heart An elemental creation With a royal carnation And into the Eden My life did depart But as our Gods have feet of clay I just chose to look away All too earthly, all too real But you won't know the way I feel All too earthly soul of steel You won't know the way I feel All too earthly, thrown to the fire How can I believe the words of a liar? All too earthly, heart of stone Best to walk this world alone Just as your words set me dreaming One day I found out that they had no meaning Celluloid is slowly burning As the tide of love is turning But just as some cities are built on sand All my dreams turn to dust in your hand, yeah All too earthly, all too real But you won't know the way I feel All too earthly soul of steel You won't know the way I feel All too earthly, thrown to the fire How can I believe the words of a liar? All too earthly, heart of stone Best to walk this world alone without you Without you Eros and Icarus, we fall into one You're Icarus, flying too near to the sun Burning up, burning, your wings turn to ash Falling now, falling, you're soon to crash You're the star I've built my life around Why did you have to go and let me down? All too earthly All on fire Just the downfall of a liar
