Sisyphus - Andrew Bird

Lyrics by：Andrew Bird

Composed by：Andrew Bird

Sisyphus peered into the mist

A stone's throw from the precipice paws

Did he jump or did he fall as

He gazed into the maw of the morning mist

Did he raise both fists and say

To hell with this and just let the rock roll

Let it roll let it crash down low

There's a house down there

But I lost it long ago

Let it roll let it crash down low

See my house down there

But I lost it long ago

Well I let the rock roll

On down to the town below

We had a house down there

But I lost it long ago

Lost it long ago

Na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na

I'm letting it roll away

It's got nothing to do with fate

And everything to do with you

I'd rather fail like a mortal

Than flail like a god on a lightning rod

History forgets the moderates

For those who sit

Recalcitrant and taciturn

You know I'd rather turn and burn

Than scale the set of fists yeah

Where's my accomplice

So take my hand

We'll do more than stand

Take my hand

We'll claim this land

Take my hand

And we'll let the rock roll

Let it roll let it crash down low

There's a house down there

But I lost it long ago

Let it roll let it crash down low

See my house down there

But I lost it long ago

Lost it long ago

Na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na

I'm letting it roll away

It's got nothing to do with fate

And everything to do with

Sisyphus peered into the mist

A stone's throw from

The precipice paws
