Lyrics Adelaide - The Autumns

Adelaide

Adelaide
The stars within your eyes
Like marmalade beneath a summer sky
Your fare is paid
From Monticello, Maine
Adelaide, they sing the same;
refrain, refrain, refrain
«Spread your wings and sail the seven seas
The future is blest
For those who sell their souls and all the rest»
Adelaide
In January’s wake
New Years Day, «an innocent mistake»
As they say
With thumbs in purple pies
Adelaide, they spin the spun;
reprise, reprise, reprise
«Spread your wings and sail the seven seas
The future is blest with me by your side
Migrate west, young child
The Queen of the Nile
The future is blest
For those who sell their souls with all the rest»
Adelaide
Stars fade away
And your skin to grey
Red lips ruse
You amuse
With your listless smile and your leopard style
Adelaide
If all the world’s a stage
Adelaide
How long will you remain?
Adelaide
The same from age to age
Adelaide
A shade away from sane, insane, insane
Tell me
How does it feel?
With dusk drawing near
Upon your «career»
The sadness in your eyes
Summers nights gone by
A luckless dreamers past
The luster never lasts
There’s one thing left to do
Ooooo
My red-lipped ruse
To kiss the hands of fools
