Ladybird Lyrics

Tell me a story of mind over matter 

 The hope and glory of life ever after 

 The sound and the fury the cloak and the dagger 

 Days when we sink like a stone 

 

 Porcelain portraits and silver medallions 

 Plasticine soldiers that march in battalions 

 Angels of mercy and lifelong companions 

 Days when we sink like a stone 

 

 There a room somewhere with a different look 

 Where your secret life is an open book 

 Where the love we made was a chance we took 

 Days when we sink like a stone 

 

 Ladybird fly away our friends are gone 

 Ladybird fly away our house is on fire 

 

 Let us be lovers we'll melt after midnight 

 Hoist up the mainsail we'll coast through the daylight 

 Twisted like candles that fade in the half-light 

 Days when we sink like a stone 

 

 Well we die sometimes to begin again 

 When the same old dreams have the same old end 

 When we lose our mind or we lose our friends 

 Days when we sink like a stone 

 

 Ladybird fly away our friends are gone 

 Ladybird fly away our house is on fire 

 Ladybird fly away our friends are gone 

 Ladybird fly away our house is on fire 

 

 Your friends have gone 

 Porcelain portraits and silver medallions 

 Your friends have gone 

 Plasticine soldiers that march in battalions 

 Your friends have gone 

 Angels of mercy and lifelong companions 

 

 Tell me a story of mind over matter 

 The hope and glory of life ever after 

 The sound and the fury the cloak and the dagger 

 

 Ladybird fly away our friends are gone 

 Ladybird fly away our house is on fire
