lyrics

I know that winter here is a very different season
You walk the streets and breathe a cold and blinding light
I sent a letter, I called you out, I shouted treason
And your best defenses will be busted through tonight

I read the news where you accused us all of libel
As if you were the only one who never made it out alive
You took a swing and your hand swelled up like a Bible
Your right cross it crashed through a stack of 45s

Bows and arrows
The bright ones won’t be bright for long
No the bright ones won’t be bright for long

Inside your head you hear a battle charge its raging
You come to me with platitudes, I’ll send you home with more
Now every mother’s got a boy that she is proud of
He’ll put on that uniform and leave her waving at the door

Bows and arrows
The bright ones won’t be bright for long
No the bright ones won’t be bright for long

And I hope that one day I’ll know
How to smile as I walk through the coals
How to feel just like you feel
Stand just where you stand
Dying of thirst with a mouth full of sand
I’d know

Well i've got a little more time to find out where you’re hiding
And I’ll be jumping through your hoops while you’re still sleeping in your bed
You know you are too cowardly for fighting
So you better hope for your sake you stay one step ahead

Bows and arrows
The bright ones won’t be bright for long
No the bright ones won’t be bright for long
