Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You were a shameless child
Bandied by stiff cross currents
Anything but mild
Yes and no just simply weren't invented yet
Oh, yes, oh, no
[Verse 2]
Then one day you'd had it
Exiled your close advisors
Ousted your dog-eared rabbits
You're through with pacifizers
You're through with pacifizers now
You're through with pacifizers
[Verse 3]
Here we go mistaking clouds for mountains, oh
Here's the thing that brings the sparrows to fountains, oh
Here's the thing that makes you run for the highlands, oh
Here we go mistaking clouds for mountains, autonomy
[Verse 4]
Then one day you'd had it
Exiled your close advisors
Ousted your dog-eared rabbits
You're through with pacifizers
[Verse 5]
You're through with pacifizers now
You're through with pacifizers now
You're through with pacifizers
[Verse 6]
Here we go mistaking clouds for mountains, oh
Here's the thing that brings the sparrows to fountains, oh
Here's the thing that makes you run for the highlands
Here we go mistaking clouds for mountains, autonomy
