The Cat Empire - Echoes

{Verse 1}
I excavated a part of my brain
That has lain dormant for years almost disappeared
Where the prisoners all got locked away
All my most beautiful wonderful friends
There is one that is always afraid
One who doesn't care what people say
There is one who slits throats for money, and
One who just wants to be king for a day

{Pre-Chorus}
We are children of happenstance

{Chorus}
I could make you love me
I could take you with me
I could run forever chasing
Echoes, echoes, echoes, echoes
In my furthest corners
I can feel the explosions
The booming river deep beneath my feet
Echoes, echoes, echoes

{Verse 2}
Mirror, mirror
Where are my miracles?
I looked deep in your eyes, they were very cold
There are photos plastered across the walls
People just want to believe in deities
Having amazing conversations, VIP booths, sexual truths
True love in kindness, you can be like this
Just lie a little bit

{Pre-Chorus}
We are children of happenstance

{Chorus}
I can make you love me
I can take you with me
I can run forever chasing
Echoes, echoes, echoes, echoes
In my furthest corners
I can feel the explosions
The booming river deep beneath my feet
Echoes, echoes

{Bridge}
Am I talking to myself?
Am I still a marionette?
Am I still a marionette?
If I reach above my head and cut the thread, oh-oh
Am I talking to myself?
Am I still a marionette?
Am I still a marionette?
If I reach above my head and touch the thread
I don’t know ... I don't know
I don't know ... I don’t know

Am I talking to myself?
Am I talking to myself?
Am I, am I, am I talking to my self?
Am I talking to myself?
Am I talking to myself?
Am I?

{Pre-Chorus}
We are children of happenstance

{Chorus}
I can make you love me
I can take you with me
I can run forever chasing
Echoes, echoes, echoes, echoes
In my furthest corners
I can feel the explosions
The booming river deep beneath my feet
Echoes, echo-o-es

{Outro}
Echoes, echo-o-oes
Echoes, echo-o-oes
Echoes, echo-o-oes
Echoes, echo-o-oes
Echoes, echo-o-oes
Echoes, echo-o-oes
Echoes, echoes, echoes, echoes, echoes, echoes...
