Laying Down the Law

from Three Chimes, At Silent Palace! by Star Moles

/

lyrics

You made your point so loud and clear
It echoes in the atmosphere
and I can hear you everywhere I go
You have to steal the show

Tell me how come
You're so set on
Laying down the law

There was a time when we were friends
but it's long since come to an end
and everybody's wondering how you're doing
in your castle ruins

Hope you're healthy
Hope you're happy
Laying down the law

Just listening
Only to the voices in your mind screaming
Never ever ever let your heart take wing
It'll die before it flies

So go on, go on
Raise the drawbridge on me
I can't reach you now
I keep shouting at the walls of Jericho
Banging my fists on a heart of solid gold
It's no good, no good
What's keeping us from
shaking the hallowed ground together
Nothing whatsoever

So tell me how come
You're so set on
Laying down the law

Swallow the rest of your free range doubt
It thrives within as it thrives without
And all the while right under your nose
Another candle blows

Out of patience
With your need for
Laying down the law

Stop listening
Only to the voices in your mind screaming
All love is suffering and stormy skies

So go on, go on
Raise the drawbridge on me
I can't reach you now
I keep shouting at the walls of Jericho
Banging my fists on a heart of solid gold
It's no good, no good
What's keeping us from
shaking the hallowed ground together
Nothing whatsoever
So why

Farther on you'll find
there's not a cloud in your path of flight
but just for a time

How temperamental is this life
The changing look in your eye

Farther on you'll find
ever more sides to the die
and I can't take my own advice

How temperamental is this life
The changing look

Go on
Raise it up
Now

I keep shouting at the walls of Jericho
Banging my fists on a heart of solid gold
Now
