Stone Gods - Steve Kilbey

Wished I’d been awake when I woke up today

I must have been some dreamin' when I heard you say your prayer for me

And that smile must have faded from your compelling face

And something quite different has taken its place and stares emptily

You’re standing alone

With your gods made of stone

Probability

But their hands wave you on

And the moment has gone

From your memory

On the road with fortune and you meet this man

Offers you his grin and a place to stand your mystery

Have a look around, won’t you be my guest

Evrything is splendid, nothing second best, in front of m

But he’s standing alone

With his gods made of stone

Probability

But their hands wave you on

And the moment has gone

From your memory

You know you own the city, you can do what you like

The streets crawl away and the buildings bite when they get hungry

So I dressed up my window with a hand-sewn flag

Someday it’s my reward, someday it’s just a rag I wave emptily

But I’m standing alone

With my gods made of stone

Probability

But their hands wave you on

And the moment has gone

From your memory

Yeah you’re standing alone

With your gods made of stone

Probability

But their hands wave you on

And the moment has gone

From your memory

You’re standing alone

With your gods made of stone

Probability

But their hands wave you on

And the moment has gone

From your memory

: …And sometimes I just feel like writing the music to a song, you know

Nothing really out of there. I feel a bit guilty

: Sometimes it never expects it…
