Lyrics[]
too close to the sun tell-tale light in the eyes slip into your pain painkiller heels comatose mighty ah high times ah high you're looking out for something - some escape from the antique dark of nothing new - automatic sky out where the cupids dare to climb - soon these pretty feathers burn as you' ll discover when you fly too close to the sun too close to the sun stay while you're by back for a night not back for long salon it's unfolding by the time we realise ah high still looking out for something - some escape from the antique dark of nothing new - automatic sky out where the cupids dare to climb - soon these pretty feathers burn as you' ll discover when you fly too close to the sun too close to the sun are you flying too close to the sun?
