Grover Anderson & The Lampoliers - Icarus Lyrics

As we look to the sky
There's fear in our eyes
Fear in our eyes
Circle wagons and say
"It's been a difficult time
A difficult time"
At the tables we pray
Look to the earth and we pray
That it's gonna be alright
But when we look to the sky
There's fear in our eyes
Call off your dogs, it's resounding
Fighting water won't stop you from drowning
I am not a vessel, I am a missile
Waiting for the sky to fall, but the sky don't fall
Rising rivers hold at the banks
Even when the clouds arrive and the cold winds call
Most trees bend but they don't break
You're falling with open hands
Which makes perfect sense
It makes perfect sense
And, like Icarus, your wings
You're giving into the heat
The sun's last defense
And as you tremble and pray
Look to the earth and you pray
Despite what you'd meant
Falling with open hands is our only defense
Waiting for the sky to fall, but the sky don't fall
Rising rivers hold at the banks
Even when the clouds arrive and the cold winds call
Most trees bend but they don't break
Most trees bend but they don't break
Most trees bend but they don't break
