Small Deaths Lyrics - Time To Die - The Dodos

comes a flooding of the stage 

we'll be waiting in it's wake 

sifting through old men and their plays 

leads us to greater thoughts to crave 

tell me glacier where you been 

and why your posture is so poor 

I hear the heats been coming in 

I see the sun is at your door 

small deaths come too late 

oh my brother went to make 

his name amongst the sharks and men 

he had a heart of gold I think 

but when he left it wasn't there 

now he hoped to all he'd make. 

yea he'd been saving, he'd been saving 

so much to have but nothing gained 

all boarded up now in his grave 

small deaths come too late 

do you intend to 

hold your affection til you die 

I know why you wait 

not until you try 

do you attempt to 

feign your infection cause the 

tide is telling you wait 

not until you're tied. 

no more time to carry with you(4x) 

tend to the sound 

of what you believe in 

we can't we can't all 

we can't we can't all be that way 

when you were young and it was fascination 

we can't we can't all 

we can't we can't all 

tend to the sound 

of what you believe in 

we can't we can't all 

we can't we can't all be that way 

when you were young and it was fascination 

we can't we can't all 

we can't we can't all(x32)
