Ripeness - Echo & the Bunnymen

I found a thing in a bedroom

Change the shape of the world

For long enough

Got the boat til as far as I could

Afford it to take me

It was far enough

Mature you said at the wrong time

Broke my aging skin 'cause age was mine

Had a field day

Smelt like roses

Harvesting my thoughts 'cause it was time

When you grasped the question

Did you miss the meaning

When you met your challenge

Did you go out fighting

We will discover

Ripeness twice over

Sing your song

Worth its weight

In god gold

Curse its fate

When you grasped the question

Did you miss the meaning

When you met your challenge

Did you go out fighting

How will we recover

Ripeness when it’s over

I lost something in a big room

Change the shape of the world

For long enough

When you grasped the question

Did you miss the meaning

When you met your challenge

Did you go out fighting

When you climbed on top

Did you fall on shadows

And then clambering off

Did you fall on rainbows

How will we recover

Ripeness when it’s over

How will we recover

Ripeness when it’s over

Neither kinder nor the kinder

Are you fuel for the fire

Neither uber nor the over

Must have others to inspire

I’ve discovered my Nietzche

I’ve discovered my Nietzche

Death should be unleashed

Or something

Do tell me

What’s the difference?

Do tell me

What’s the difference
