"Ancestors" lyrics
"Ancestors"
If we are not what we think we are
Then I would like to know, you know
It takes a lot to pretend
To keep on hiding from what's lurching off the ledge below
And I don't know what to do
But somewhere deep inside the ancestors are moving all my limbs
Go back
'Cause shadows in the grass
Provide respite for the bees
I couldn't see the outline of the forest from the leaves
Oh shadows of the heart
You take your violence out on me
And you can stop but you can't stare
Just keep in mind for when you're burning up the light
And keep your pass from the zodiac's eyes
Just in case the lines upon your hands are right
And I don't know what to do
But somewhere deep inside the ancestors are moving all my limbs
Go back
'Cause shadows in the grass
Provide respite for the bees
[?] find itself a place to sit and dream
Oh shadows of the heart
You take your violence out on me
And I cannot befriend all the rabble in my head
It won't be long till all the oxygen's been had
Oh shadows of the heart you work so tireless on me

They can't take it away from us
Our love is too strong
We've...
Ben Lee - "Cigarettes Will Kill You" You throw me in a pan
You cook me in a can
You stretch me with your hands
You love to watch me bake
You serve me up with cake
And that's your big mistake
Your guest comes in dressed smart...
The Cat Empire - "No Longer There" And though you'd like to hear a song
That sings everything's all right
The temperature is warm
The fire horses sleep
So gently comes the night

Ball Park Music - "Stars In My Eyes" There was a place that I used to go
There was a girl that I loved who lived there
This was a long time ago
I don't want for much these days
I float along on a steady wave
I've got a long way to go...
Sons Of The East - "Keep Running" Well I held my hand up to the light
When I broke another endless night
For me to wake up in fright
I couldn't get shut down, at least for a time
I couldn't shame my worried, worried mind
And still...
