Spotify: spotify:artist:6oTxs6dKEJHDjhZisTKxiZ Lyrics: Looking down from such a height, On me with stone cold eyes, When the river's running dry. You've always been my vice, And now I decide, I want you gone by twenty-five. I can't hide (when all the statues come to life) I can't survive (when all the statues come to life) I can't lie, I'm not divine (when all the statues come to life) I can't hide, I can't survive, every night. (when all the statues come to life) I've hurt my hands so much, From breaking hearts and melting love. I wish it wasn't true. And all the things I've said, I've taken them to bed. I know I've been cruel. You can't hide (when all the statues come to life) You can't survive (when all the statues come to life) You can't lie, you're not divine (when all the statues come to life) You can't hide, you can't survive, through the night. (when all the statues come to life) When all, all the statues come to life. When all, all the statues come to life. When all, all the statues come to life, We won't make it through the night. We can't hide (when all the statues come to life) We can't survive (when all the statues come to life) We can't lie, we're not divine (when all the statues come to life) We can't hide, we can't survive, cuz every night. (all the statues come to life). All the statues come to life. All the statues come to life.
