The Afghan Whigs - Copernicus lyrics

Naked but for tears While the sky falls down Panting for the rush Hissing through the crowd Waving at the wheels But I can't slow down I'm riding Riding through your town So say what you got to say Play, but you got to pay Heavy is the head But you wear no crown Hang it in the sky And step inside your dream I know what I know And with the lights down low I'm riding Riding down your street So say what you got to say Play, but you got to pay She went to California Painted in light Till all the colors ran­ Wild You came to mesmerize her She came with consequences in her eyes In her eyes Deep in her eyes Listen in the the distance As the sky begins to fall Raining down like crystalline Apocalypse in thrall Rolling under Torn asunder Blinded by it all Once there was a way­ Then you were gone
