Back to the Cave - Colonel Suns

Lyrics by：Dave Palmer/Ed Harcourt

Composed by：Dave Palmer/Ed Harcourt

You've got your suckers like an octopus

And they can't see behind the camera flash

Should I compare you to an octopus

Just stacks of handouts to the entourage

We're moving forward slowly

But falling backwards faster

So watch us spiral as we tumble from grace

We're running out of punch lines

A d-d-d-disaster

So watch us crawl

We're crawling back to the cave

We're moving forward slowly

But falling backwards faster

So watch us spiral as we tumble from grace

We're running out of punch lines

A d-d-d-disaster

So watch us crawl

We're crawling back to the cave

There's a fire there's a fire

It's coming

And it's pushing past the limit

And children

Such a thrum such a thrum

A fire's humming

On the beach by a sea

Of sevens

There's a storm there's a storm

It's rising

There's no time there's no place

For idles

Such a mess such a mess

That's throbbing

All that's born is a meaningless spiral

You've got your tentacles all over the place

Its just a bad dream since we weren't awake

Counting up you'll leave just to scratch your face

Time to run time to make an escape

We're moving forward slowly

But falling backwards faster

So watch us spiral as we tumble from grace

We're running out of punch lines

A d-d-d-disaster

So watch us crawl

We're crawling back to the cave

We're moving forward slowly

But falling backwards faster

So watch us spiral as we tumble from grace

We're running out of punch lines

A d-d-d-disaster

So watch us crawl

We're crawling back to the cave

We're moving forward slowly

But falling backwards faster

So watch us spiral as we tumble from grace

We're running out of punch lines

A d-d-d-disaster

So watch us crawl

We're crawling back to the cave

We're moving forward slowly

But falling backwards faster

So watch us spiral as we tumble from grace

We're running out of punch lines

A d-d-d-disaster

So watch us crawl

We're crawling back to the cave
