The Libertine Lyrics

The Libertine lyrics

The motorway won't take a horse 

The wanderer has found a course to follow


The traveller unpacked his bags for the last time 

The troubadour
cut off his hand and now he wants mine 



Oh no, not me. 



The circus girl fell off her horse and now shes paralysed 

The hitchiker
was bound and gagged, raped on the roadside 

The libertine is locked in
jail 

The pirate sunk and broke his sail 



But I still have
to go 

I've got to go, so here i go 

I'm going to run the risk of
being free 



The magicians secrets all revealed 

And the
preachers lies are all concealed 

And all our heroes lack any conviction


They shout through the bars of cliche and addiction 



So
i've got to go 

I've got to go, so here i go 

I'm going to run the
risk of being free 



And in this drought of truth and invention


Whoever shouts the loudest gets the most attention 

So we pass the
mic and they've got nothing to say except: 

"Bow down, bow down, bow down
to your god" 

Then we hit the floor 

And make ourselves and idol to
bow before, 



Well i can't 

And i wont 

Bow down 

Anymore. 



No more
