The winter of your discontent came twenty years too late
If it was love and I was there I've forgotten where it lives
We both stepped off a frozen rock onto a burning bridge
You came like an invasion all bells and whistles blowing
Reaping the rewards of the fable you'd been sowing
I saw you cross the landing and descending marble stairs
Like Caesar crossed the Rubicon you seemed to walk on air
[Chorus:]
Yea I've seen your movie
And I read it in your book
The truth just flew off ever page
Your songs have all the hooks
You're seven wonders rolled in one
You shifted gear to cruise
Oh you came to town in headlines
And eight hundred dollar shoes
Oh the bellboys are crying and moneys changing hands
Your cloak and dagger lagecy's gone home to no man's land
The marquee lights are flickering your poster's fading fast
Your being here just melts away like ice cubes in a glass
(Repeat Chorus)
Oh you came to town in headlines
And eight hundred dollar shoes
You had your grand illusion and wrestled with your fate The winter of your discontent came twenty years too late If it was love and I was there I've forgotten where it lives We both stepped off a frozen rock onto a burning bridge You came like an invasion all bells and whistles blowing Reaping the rewards of the fable you'd been sowing I saw you cross the landing and descending marble stairs Like Caesar crossed the Rubicon you seemed to walk on air [Chorus:] Yea I've seen your movie And I read it in your book The truth just flew off ever page Your songs have all the hooks You're seven wonders rolled in one You shifted gear to cruise Oh you came to town in headlines And eight hundred dollar shoes Oh the bellboys are crying and moneys changing hands Your cloak and dagger lagecy's gone home to no man's land The marquee lights are flickering your poster's fading fast Your being here just melts away like ice cubes in a glass (Repeat Chorus) Oh you came to town in headlines And eight hundred dollar shoes Explain Request ×
