Lyrics

Heathen (The Rays)

[Verse 1] Steel on the skyline Sky made of glass Made for a real world All things must pass [Verse 2] Waiting for something Looking for someone Is there no reason? Have I stared too long? [Refrain] Woah Woah [Bridge] You say you'll leave me And when the sun is low And the rays high I can see it now I can feel it die [Refrain] Oh (Woah) Oh (Woah)
