Napoleon Sheds His Skin Lyrics - Songs Of A Circling Spirit - Tom Cochrane

The streets are covered in chalk 

The shops are boarded up 

The bodies are carried back down from the square 

He begins to wonder 

If it always was this hot 

Or is it just the clothes 

That he now wears 

Napoleon sheds his skin 

In the summer when the sun is high 

He never knows when to quit 

When to stop... 

Or when to say die

Pick the bones, get a tan 

Or wander 

Underground 

She would not have left him anyway 

Wait by the sea, wait in the sun 

As if the time 

Stood still 

Did he get involved 

In whichever side 

That paid 

Napoleon sheds his skin 

In the summer when the sun is high 

He never knows when to quit 

When to stop... 

Or when to say die 

...And time stands still behind

The distant gates 

Time moves on outside in the sun 

Then he wonders which side he's really on 

Then he doesn't care, 

It's so grey in there 

He just wants to get back to her... 

Napoleon sheds his skin 

In the summer when the sun is high 

He never knew when to quit 

When to stop... 

Or when to say die... 

She waits for him by the wharf 

By the sea where they used to go 

She sings a song that they'd sing 

Then waits for the echo... 

Na... poleon 

Sheds his skin 

Na... poleon 

Sheds his skin 

Na... poleon 

Sheds his skin 

I've got to get out of here 

Can she save me 

I've got to get out of here 

Can she save me 

I've got to get out of here... 

Can you hear me...
