Widespread Panic - Saint Ex Lyrics

Widespread Panic Lyrics

"Saint Ex"

Sometimes they see you
Just now they don't
Maybe this is a lucky day
Or a penny on the way home
Sit between the clouds for cover
Raindrops hide in the sea
Olly olly oxen free

The bliss of anonymity
Phonography of the heart
A well executed smile
The Wind, Sand and the Stars
Words living in translation
Flowers under glass
Oh, the future slipping past

Save me, slowly tame me
Don't apologize with philosophy
Come closer, tame me
Don't you recognize we are not enemies

Lamplighters and counters
Kings and drunks and clowns
Saddle up the planet
Ride to the heart of town
Snakes do swallow elephants
Children all wear crowns
If I knew I knew you
I never would have shot you down

Save me, slowly tame me
Don't apologize with philosophy
Come closer, tame me
Don't you recognize we are not enemies

Save me, slowly tame me
Don't apologize with philosophy
Come closer, tame me
Don't you recognize we are not enemies
