lyrics

Written by Jake, and resonates with me in all the right (or wrong) ways.


Wide grin with a white flag
On a pale horse's back
White flag pyre shaman dance
One more time a second chance
Nine more lives, the shaman's chant
Night only comes
When our sun is starved


Colour in my Tao blank
Cackling as I wave my flag
I'm a nine live Cheshire-grinning cat
Never landing on my back


White flag Alexander's charge
His cavalry off the mountaintops
A split second shock surrender
For a split second forever after
White and gold marl-boric martyrs
Drag queens dressed in shining armour


Colour in my Tao blank
Cackling as I wave the flag


Colour in my Tao blank
Cackling as I wave the flag


White flag on my early grave
Ashes to dust to masquerade
Faith with fate was my mistake
My relent has paved her way
