Lyrics:

Tell me a story of mind over matter

The hope and glory of life ever after

The sound and the fury the cloak and the dagger

Days when we sink like a stone



Porcelain portraits and silver medallions

Plasticine soldiers that march in battalions

Angels of mercy and lifelong companions

Days when we sink like a stone



There a room somewhere with a different look

Where your secret life is an open book

Where the love we made was a chance we took

Days when we sink like a stone



Ladybird fly away our friends are gone

Ladybird fly away our house is on fire



Let us be lovers we'll melt after midnight

Hoist up the mainsail we'll coast through the daylight

Twisted like candles that fade in the half-light

Days when we sink like a stone



Well we die sometimes to begin again

When the same old dreams have the same old end

When we lose our mind or we lose our friends

Days when we sink like a stone



Ladybird fly away our friends are gone

Ladybird fly away our house is on fire

Ladybird fly away our friends are gone

Ladybird fly away our house is on fire



Your friends have gone

Porcelain portraits and silver medallions

Your friends have gone

Plasticine soldiers that march in battalions

Your friends have gone

Angels of mercy and lifelong companions



Tell me a story of mind over matter

The hope and glory of life ever after

The sound and the fury the cloak and the dagger



Ladybird fly away our friends are gone

Ladybird fly away our house is on fire
