Echo The Bunnymen Ripeness Lyrics

Ripeness Lyrics

I found nothing in a back room 

Change the shape of the world 

For long enough 

Got the boat till as far as I could 

Before it could take me 

It was far enough 





Mature you said at the wrong time 

Broke my aging skin 'cause age was mine 

Had a field day 

Smelt like roses 

Harvesting my thoughts 'cos up much time 





When you grasped the question 

Did you miss the meaning 

When you met your challenge 

Did you go out fighting 

We will discover 

Ripeness twice over 





Sing your song 

Worth its weight in god gold 

Curse its fate 





When you grasped the question 

Did you miss the meaning 

When you met your challenge 

Did you go out fighting 

How will we recover 

Ripeness when it's over 





I lost something in a big room 

Change the shape of the world 

For long enough 





When you grasped the question 

Did you miss the meaning 

When you met your challenge 

Did you go out fighting 

When you climbed on top 

Did you fall on shadows 

And clammerring off 

Did you fall on rainbows 





How will we recover 

Ripeness when it's over 

How will we recover 

Ripeness when it's over
