Village Of The Sun Lyrics - Frank Black

Well, I've been hanging down-side up 

Feeling really banged up 

Wishing everybody would shut up 

In the village of the sun 

Well, its more than just a little bit loud 

But I'll be more than just a little proud 

To think that the opinions of rocks and of clouds 

Would even give us recognition 

Oh, I echo, it decays 

I hear a sound, it is delayed 

And I know that help is on the way 

To the village of the sun 

To the powers that be 

To the powers that be 

To an hour to be 

Is it the intention of that child 

To be a bastard in the wild 

Eventually move to his inventions 

Like the invention of a cannon 

Of course a cannon makes a ruckus 

Or like the lady in that circus 

Oh, we could try and maybe fly us 

Right out the village of the sun 

To the powers that be 

To the powers that be 

To an hour to be 

But maybe I've said enough 

And I wasnt trying to be all funny 

And I wasnt trying to be all tough 

Im almost done 

Doesn't matter what I say 

Or for that matter what sayeth thee 

And ain't that the way 

In the village of the sun 

To the powers that be 

To the powers that be 

To an hour to be 

To an hour to be
