Lyrics Stone Gods - Steve Kilbey

Stone Gods

Wished I’d been awake when I woke up today
I must have been some dreamin' when I heard you say your prayer for me
And that smile must have faded from your compelling face
And something quite different has taken its place and stares emptily
You’re standing alone
With your gods made of stone
Probability
But their hands wave you on
And the moment has gone
From your memory
On the road with fortune and you meet this man
Offers you his grin and a place to stand your mystery
Have a look around, won’t you be my guest
Evrything is splendid, nothing second best, in front of m
But he’s standing alone
With his gods made of stone
Probability
But their hands wave you on
And the moment has gone
From your memory
You know you own the city, you can do what you like
The streets crawl away and the buildings bite when they get hungry
So I dressed up my window with a hand-sewn flag
Someday it’s my reward, someday it’s just a rag I wave emptily
But I’m standing alone
With my gods made of stone
Probability
But their hands wave you on
And the moment has gone
From your memory
Yeah you’re standing alone
With your gods made of stone
Probability
But their hands wave you on
And the moment has gone
From your memory
You’re standing alone
With your gods made of stone
Probability
But their hands wave you on
And the moment has gone
From your memory
: …And sometimes I just feel like writing the music to a song, you know
Nothing really out of there. I feel a bit guilty
: Sometimes it never expects it…
