The Creator
Appears on: Hopeful Monsters
Yeah, hey hey heeeeeeeeey-o (x4)
Bulging out from the top of the sky
I can see the head, the head of the creator
Looking down with a tear in his eye
I can see the head, the head of the creator
Yeah, hey hey heeeeeeeeey-o (x2)
We grew some legs and crawled from the sea
And we found a cave, turned it into the White House
Built a boat, and went back to the sea
And we found new land, and filled the sky with more clouds
Chorus:
Don't take me down to where the gypsies go and spirits overflow
Don't take me down to where the gods grow old and the stories stay untold
Yeah, hey hey heeeeeeeeey-o (x2)
Bulking out from a space in my mind
I can see the face, the face of someone older
He speaks to me, with the voice of a God
So I ask him why he's given us the shoulder
Chorus
A penny for your thoughts, God
When famine steals a nation's breath
A thousand o' your feelings
When one day Earth shakes hold to death
And God had paid good money
To be that fly upon the wall
When bombs fly down like raindrops
And you sit there and do sod all
Yeah, hey hey heeeeeeeeey-o (x2)
Bulging out from the top of the sky
I can see the head, the head of the creator
Looking down with a tear in his eye
I can see the head, the head of the creator
Chorus x2
Don't take me down, don't take me down (x8)
Yeah, hey hey heeeeeeeeey-o (x4)
A penny for your thoughts, God
