Portishead
Cowboys
[Verse 1]
Did you sweep us far from your feet?
Reset in stone this stark belief?
Salted eyes and a sordid dye
Too many years

[Chorus]
But don't despair
This day will be their damnedest day
Oh, if you take these things from me

[Verse 2]
Did you feed us tales of deceit?
Conceal the tongues who need to speak?
Subtle lies and a soiled coin
The truth is sold, the deal is done

[Chorus]
But don't despair
This day will be their damnedest day
Oh, if you take these things from me

[Bridge]
Undefied, no signs of regret
Your swollen pride assumes respect
Talons fly as a last disguise
But no return, the time has come
[Chorus]
So don't despair
This day will be their damnedest day
Oh, if you take these things from me

[Outro]
Oh, if you take these things from me
