Bat For Lashes - Fur And Gold (2008) by Bat For Lashes (보컬) on maniadb.com

> Got woken in the night
By a mystic golden light
My head soaked in river water
I had been dressed in a coat of armor
They called a horse out of the woodland
""Take her there through the desert shores.""
They sang to me, ""This is yours to wear.
You're the chosen one, there's no turning back
Now.""
The smell of redwood giants
The banquet for the shadows
Horse and I, we're dancers in the dark
Came upon the headdress
It was gilded, dark and golden
The children sang
I was so afraid I took it to my head and prayed
They sang to me, ""This is yours to wear.
You're the chosen one, there's no turning back.""
They sang to me, ""This is yours to wear.
You're the chosen one, there's no turning back.""
There is no turning back
There is no turn
There is no turning back
There is no turn
There is no turning back
There is no turn

The trophy that I made for us
In fur and gold
Got into the wrong pair of hands
And truth was sold

They bought it for, oh, so much less
Then it was worth
And every man that touched it
Found a heaven on earth

Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms

The queens and the court jesters
Clapped, adored
Their hearts swelled to overdrive
And mercy soared

Mercy this and mercy that
Let justice prevail
But I just want my trophy back
It's not for sale

Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms

Creatures of mercy, shoot, shoot
Shoot them down and set me free
Creatures of mercy, shoot, shoot
Shoot them down and set me free

When I got my trophy back
It took some time
To polish it to gold from black
And shoot the lion

When I put it back inside
And locked the door
Our trophy of mercy
Is a trophy no more

Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms

Creatures of mercy, shoot, shoot
Shoot them down and set me free
Creatures of mercy, shoot, shoot
Shoot them down and set me free

Community saw the best in me
Exchanging the common heart for salt in the sea
Children of the sun on a highway of hope
Beauty of coming together in sorrow

Tahiti, we don't got no name
Tahiti, we don't got no home
Tahiti, we don't got no money
Tahiti, we don't got no honey

But we do the dishes
And we make the bread
We are powdered ashes
In the light of the beauty, he said

Wear those dark glasses
To help us see
Hot tears rolling down
And our arms are knitted all around you

Creatures of the night
On a highway of hope
The beauty that we'll leave
Each other tomorrow

Tahiti, we don't got no name
Tahiti, we don't got no home
Tahiti, we don't got no money
Tahiti, we don't got no honey

> We walked arm in arm
But I didn't feel his touch
A desire I'd first tried to hide
That tingling inside was gone
And when he asked me
Do you still love me?
I had to look away
I didn't want to tell him
That my heart grows colder with each day
When you love someone
But the thrill is gone
And your kisses at night
Are replaced with tears
And when your dreams are wrong
A train to train wreck town
Then I ask you now, what's a girl to do?
He said he'd take me away
That we'd work things out
And I didn't want to tell him
But it was then I had to say
Over the times we've shared
It's all blackened out
And my bat lightning heart
Wants to fly away
When you love someone
But the thrill is gone
And your kisses at night
Are replaced with tears
And when your dreams are on
A train to train wreck town
Then I ask you now, what's a girl to do?
What's a girl to do?
What's a girl to do?
What's a girl to do?

I don't like the things you don't say
Leaving it for such a long long time
Why do you show me those sad sad eyes
Each time you decide to pass on by

And when you smile those sad eyes
Look sadder and sadder still

Autumn's hue in those sad eyes
Makes me love and love them more
I'll have a bath, I'll make the dinner
And then I'll go wait for a long long time
But still you've not passed my door

And when you smile those sad eyes
Look sadder and sadder still

I can tell that you're lonely
But it seems now
There's nothing you want me to do
So I won't try to take the sadness
From those eyes that I love
Leave it open for someone else to

And when you smile those sad eyes
Look sadder and sadder still

Trying to hold it together
Keep my love as light as a feather
Sad eyes baby it's been such a long time
Keep my heart breaking in the dark
Come and spend the night

Trying to hold it together
Keep my love as light as a feather
Sad eyes baby it's been such a long time
Keep my heart breaking in the dark
Come and spend the night

Sad eyes, sad eyes, sad eyes...

There's a girl that wants to stop
Been thinking about having a couple of kids
Comb a brush around their heads in the morning
To be needed, simply and with meaning

Her name is Karen
Been on the road for so long
She wants to live in a place that has a number and a name
Find love as an anchor before the courage is gone

She really loves him, Prescilla
She really loves him, Prescilla
She really loves him, I tell you

She really loves him, Prescilla
She really loves him, Prescilla
She really loves him, I tell you

To live life outside the whirl
To break the cross that bears her name
She's not your queen anymore, queen of the highway
Needs something better than running away

She really loves him, Prescilla
She really loves him, Prescilla
She really loves him, I tell you

She really loves him, Prescilla
She really loves him, Prescilla
She really loves him, I tell you

Gone away
Queen of the Highway
Gone away

Gone away
Queen of the Highway
Gone away

Adopting Sarah's heart
(Was never gonna be easy)
With an angel tattoo sinking beneath her belt
(Sarah)

And the dirty blonde sea-water
(Sea-water gushing down)
Chewing fingernails in her shit-eating grin
(Sarah)

They cut out her heart when
(She was a little girl)
And in the fishing boat she thought
She saw the shadow of God
(Sarah)

He didn't smile at her and she decided
(He never came at all)
And when she died
She was going nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

Sarah, I want to be like you
(Sarah)
You know sometimes I want to live like you
(Sarah)
So I know how it feels not to feel
(Sarah)

Adopting Sarah's heart
(Was never gonna be easy)
Changing from black to blonde
To black to blonde
(Sarah)

But on the dirty tarmac of
(The tarmac of a melting motorway)
Gave me her clothes and told me
To take her place, her place

Sarah, I want to be like you
(Sarah)
You know sometimes I want to live like you
(Sarah)
So I know how it feels not to feel
(Sarah)

Sarah, I want to be like you
(Sarah)
You know sometimes I want to live like you
(Sarah)
So I know how it feels not to feel
(Sarah)

I saw a light
I saw a light
Coming through the trees

I saw a light
Coming through the trees

Freshly cut lawns
And little children sleepwalking

I saw a light
I saw a light
Shining on a car
And a couple inside
Had committed suicide

Death in your arms
Death in your arms

I saw a light
I saw a light
Coming through the trees
And I packed my things

After I saw the light
I packed my thing
The light gave me life
And helped me see more clearly

And the children went to sleep
And the car was towed away
And the leaves were rustling
As the night turned to day

I saw a light
Getting smaller in the distance
And I said goodbye
