Lyrics Crowded House - Archer's Arrows

Kids kissing on the floor
they make a work of art
up on the gallery wall
they take the world apart
and no ones safe
put tension on the string
we’re almost there
it’s time to reign over the king

the archer fires away, send an arrow up
we hope to rise again, like an invitation
aim high and when the arrow comes down
take out the pale imitation
the whole façade is wearing thin
we just paper over cracks
‘til people take the power back
moving out the calvacade
we’ll live to fight another day
see the archer’s arrows fly

they tempt you with the prize
make you master of the house
you looking so indifferent now
with the sucker hanging from your mouth
but you can’t be safe
you can’t betray your will
we’re almost gone
it’s time to take over the hill

the archer fires away, send an arrow up
we hope to rise again, like an invitation
aim high and when the colours come down
take out the pale imitation
the whole façade is wearing thin
we just paper over the cracks
‘til people take the power back
moving out the cavalcade
we’ll live to fight another day
see the archer’s arrows fade hey hey
soon find out if we made the mark
soon find out with an arrow in my heart hey hey
see the archer’s arrows fade
