The Sheep Look Up Lyrics

The Sheep Look Up lyrics

Once the world was a wind-up toy, we watched it spin and dance



We watch it now from the other side of our last remaining chance



And the world falls down like some tired bull in a crimson Spanish ring



We've learned to love it far too late to save it from anything







Once we dreamed of a soft romance where lovers were sweet and kind



But gentle men and ladies fair we never seem to find



And so we've settled in lands of lust where decadent passions play



And we burn with fever through the night and burn with shame all day







And when the children ask us why as we know the children must



Why all our world and all our dreams came down to pain and dust



Will we blame it on the ones before who never answered our whys



Or admit we questioned far to late to save this dream that dies
