Saint Ex Lyrics

with John Keane on backup vocals
Transcribed by: Alex Moura

Sometimes they see you - just now they don't
Maybe this is a lucky day - or a penny on the way home
Sit between the clouds for cover - raindrops hide in the sea
Olly olly oxen free

The bliss of anonymity - phonography of the heart
A well executed smile - the Wind, Sand and the Stars
Words living in translation - flowers under glass
Oh the future slipping past

Save me, slowly tame me
Don't apologize with philosophy
Come closer, tame me
Don't you recognize we are not enemies

Lamplighters and Counters - kings and drunks and clowns
Saddle up the planet - ride to the heart of town
Snakes do swallow elephants - children all wear crowns
If I knew I knew you I never would have shot you down

Save me, slowly tame me
Don't apologize with philosophy
Come closer, tame me
Don't you recognize we are not enemies

Save me, slowly tame me
Don't apologize with philosophy
Come closer, tame me
Don't you recognize we are not enemies
