Indian Giver by Pat Orchard Lyrics

When the wild young things when they get older
And their beauty fades like the tattoos on their shoulders
And the waiting dream it fades with age
And time clips their wings and forms a cage
And the youth that bloomed that promised to make them
Faded so soon see how it betrays them
Like an Indian Giver
While the shadows dancing to the same old tune
Driven by tides of a pale and hollow moon
And the painted faces stare from the walls
While the words of fools echo down these halls
And your idols of gold see how they've misled you Towers and temples always betray you
Like an Indian giver
How we move like a moth around a flame
Well how we move like a beast around its prey
How we move in small circles getting smaller every day We stand alone searching for a way
The tower of Babel taller by the hour
Such mad confusion a sign of power
While the poorer nations have a heart of stone
On those foundations the wealthy we have grown
And the men of science they say they will save us
But deep down inside you know they'll betray us
Like an Indian giver like an Indian giver
