Ripeness Lyrics - Echo & The Bunnymen

I found a thing 

In a bedroom 

Change the shape 

Of the world 

For long enough 

Got the boat til 

As far as I could 

Afford it to take me 

It was far enough 

Mature you said 

At the wrong time 

Broke my aging skin 

'Cause age was mine 

Had a field day 

Smelt like roses 

Harvesting my thoughts 

'Cos it was time 

When you grasped the question 

Did you miss the meaning? 

When you met your challenge 

Did you go out fighting? 

We will discover 

Ripeness twice over? 

Sing your song 

Worth its weight 

In god gold 

Curse its fate 

When you grasped the question 

Did you miss the meaning? 

When you met your challenge 

Did you go out fighting? 

How will we recover 

Ripeness when it's over? 

I lost something 

In a big room 

Change the shape 

Of the world 

For long enough 

When you grasped the question 

Did you miss the meaning? 

When you met your challenge 

Did you go out fighting? 

When you climbed on top 

Did you fall on shadows? 

And then clambering off 

Did you fall on rainbows? 

How will we recover 

Ripeness when it's over? 

How will we recover 

Ripeness when it's over? 

Neither kinder nor the kinder 

Are you fuel for the fire 

Neither uber nor the over 

Must have others to inspire 

I've discovered my Nietzche 

I've discovered my Nietzche 

Death should be unleashed 

Or something 

Do tell me 

What's the difference? 

Do tell me 

What's the difference?
