Gods Will Be Gods Lyrics - Echo & The Bunnymen

How can you pretend 

When there's so much at stake? 

That it's a different world 

And your hands don't shake? 

At the end of the room 

And the foot of the bar 

We knew that soon 

We'd be makin' our mark 

Why do you defend 

The part you have to take? 

With your fingers on the world 

Hoping your hands don't shake? 

When you get the time 

Why not think about 

Connecting yours and mine 

And turning into ours? 

Back to the bar 

I was feelin' it 

The hole in the floor 

Was where I would sit 

Positions will be lost 

And things will fall in place 

The falling will not stop 

Till we have found our face 

Oh, will you mention? 

Oh, will you mention my name to all? 

Oh, will you mention my name to me? 

Gods will be Gods 

But my Lord forgot 

I was made out of skin 

Bones will be bones 

But when I came home 

There was no one in 

So where were you stayin' 

While I was out playin'? 

Was nobody laying the foundation 

The fulfilling of our killing? 

How can you pretend 

That there's so much at stake? 

And it's a different world 

And everything shakes? 

You're the [Incomprehensible] 

You're the aftertaste 

I am total love 

I am total hate 

Let's face facts 

We won't mind 

Stripped of us 

We will
