When The Sun Comes Round Again
by: BuchananCome round friend
Come down, and then
Go let it out
Go let it out
When the sun comes round again
Keep you honest
Come round again
Come down, and then
Go let it out
Go let it out
When the sun comes round again
Keep you honest
Days keep on falling, renounce,
The stocks will weigh upon us
Wait for the banks to fold up
And patience goes out to sea
Float out to see
Go let it out x4
Our lens distorted,
Try to paint a bright picture

Not a simple guess
Go let it out
Go let it out
When the sun comes round again
When the sun comes round again
When the sun comes round again
Keep you falling
