About This Track

'Celestial Creatures' by Wild Beasts is an alternative track from the album 'Boy King', released in 2016. The lyrics cast a nocturnal, confrontational address to a powerful, almost godlike presence, with images of heaviness in the sky and a struggle to stay intact, as belief is presented as a kind of weakness. The verse swings between cold need and worshipful fear, culminating in a vision of heaven as a place where angels sip, and where belief carries the speaker “there”, even as they insist on being less than nothing.

"Celestial Creatures" is a track by Wild Beasts, from the album Boy King, released 4th August 2016. The track is 4:28 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Wild Beasts.

Lyrics

Celestial Creatures

The heavens hang heavy on you tonight
But I'm a bit cold, your only hope
The only thing to keep your guts from spilling out

Handsome woman, what you want with me?
You're a deity and I'm nothing but my beliefs
Yeah, they take me there to [?]
Where the heavens are
Where the angels sip champagne
And every fiber remains so alive
We are celestial creatures

What you want with me?
You're a deity and I'm nothing but my beliefs
Yeah, they take me there to [?]
Where the heavens are
Where the angels sip champagne

Every fiber remains so alive
Oh these are blessed times, wooo hooo
We are celestial creatures, oooh

Every fiber remains so alive
Oh these are blessed times, wooo hooo
We are celestial creatures, oooh

These are blessed times that we're living in
Down here on earth all is forgiven
These are blessed times that we're living in
Down here on earth all is forgiven
These are blessed times that we're living in
Down here on earth all is forgiven
These are blessed times that we're living in
Down here on earth all is forgiven
These are blessed times that we're living in
Down here on earth all is forgiven
These are blessed times that we're living in
Down here on earth all is forgiven

These are blessed times that we're living in
Down here on earth all is forgiven
These are blessed times that we're living in
Down here on earth all is forgiven
These are blessed times that we're living in
Down here on earth all is forgiven
These are blessed times that we're living in
Down here on earth all is forgiven
These are blessed times that we're living in
Down here on earth all is forgiven
These are blessed times that we're living in
Down here on earth all is forgiven
