Archers Arrows - Crowded House

Kids kissing on the floor

They make a work of art

Up on the gallery wall

They take the world apart

And no one’s safe

The tension on the string

We’re almost there

It’s time to reign over the king

The archer fires away (Send an arrow up)

We hope to rise again (Like an invitation)

Aim high

Then the arrow comes down

Take out

The pale imitation

The whole façade is wearing thin

We’ll just paper over cracks

‘Til people take the power back

Moving out the cavalcade

We live to fight another day

See the arrows fly

They tempt you with a prize

Make you master of the house

You look so indifferent now

With the sucker hanging from your mouth

But you can’t be safe

You can’t betray your will

We’re almost gone

It’s time to take over the hill

The archer fires away (Send an arrow up)

We hope to rise again (Like an invitation)

Aim high

When the colours come down

Take out

The pale imitation

The whole façade is wearing thin

We just paper over cracks

‘Til people take the power back

Moving out the cavalcade

We live to fight another day

See the archer’s arrows fade (Hey, hey)

See the archer’s arrows fade (Hey, hey)

See the archer’s arrows fade (Soon find out if we make a mark)

See the archer’s arrows fade (Soon find out, leave an arrow in my heart)

See the archer’s arrows fade

See the archer’s arrows fade (Hey, hey)
