Romulus and Venus Lyrics by The Tear Garden

The Last Man to Fly

1992

[Intro]
Is everything alright?
Just a bit...
A bit down?
Uh-huh
So what may I do to un-down your down?
[Verse 1]
Everything you gave me lies within a trunk, within a drawer
I burned one hundred photographs, or more
I fled across the ocean with another face, another name
Nothing but my soul remained the same
But still you came with cases, I was forced to let you stay
You bought the locks, the box in which I lay
[Chorus]
I tried to get away from you, I tried to make a break
You always see right through me, there's no escape
I tried to get away from you, I tried to make a break
You always see right through me, there's no escape
[Post-Chorus]
I tried to get away
Get away
Is that the man for whom you watch and fear? Or for whom you watch and pray?
[Verse 2]
I can still remember you with coronets, white horses
I would run behind, you'd flash the sign, I dived just to serve you
But night-time turned the lady to a girl again, you'd slip away
You tried to kiss my tears away, pretend there was no day to take me down
[Break]
Is that the man for whom you watch and fear? Or for whom you watch and pray?
Take me down
Is everything alright?
Just a bit...
A bit down? (Down)
Uh-huh
So what may I do to un-down your down? (Down)
[Verse 3]
Nightshade, blades, Niagara Falls, I tried them all six times
But you would always run behind me and you'd find me
Keep me on a leash, on a line
I'm uncomfortably resigned
There's no release 'til you untie me
Deny me
Deny me
[Chorus]
I tried to get away from you, I tried to make a break
You always see right through me, there's no escape
I tried to get away from you, I tried to make a break
You always see right through me, there's no escape
I tried to get away from you, I tried to make a break
You always see right through me, there's no escape
I tried to get away from you, I tried to make a break
You always see right through me, there's no escape
[Outro]
Is that the man for whom you watch and fear? Or for whom you watch and pray?
