Portishead Cowboys songtekst

Did you sweep us far from your feetReset in stone this stark beliefSalted eyes and a sordid dyeToo many yearsBut don’t despair this day, will be their damnedest dayOoh, if you take these things from meDid you feed us tales of deceitConceal the tongues who need to speakSubtle lies and a soiled coinThe truth is sold, the deal is doneBut don’t despair this day, will be their damnedest dayOoh, if you take these things from meUndefied, no signs of regretYour swollen pride assumes respectTalons fly as a last disguiseBut no return, the time has comeSo don’t despair this day, will be their damnedest dayOoh, if you take these things from me

Ooh, if you take these things from me
