Manhattan Transfer - This Independence Lyrics
The light is bending earlyAround the prodigalThe gunner whispers gentlyHis shadow on the wallThe crowd is bursting from meA single animalIt finds its freedom earlyTheyre going to take it allThis independenceWe are the metal shell10,000 bodiesRun from an empty wellAll of your loversAre heroes in my bedAll night the echoesOf breathing headsA falling body near meA silent angry cryA miracle of purposeLooks up into the skyA camera crew is runningThe world is shrinking fastTonight you drink your coffeeAnd watch the world aghastThis independenceWe are the metal shell10,000 bodiesRun from an empty wellAll of your loversAre heroes in my bedAll night the echoesOf breathing headsA camera crew is runningThe world is shrinking fastTonight you drink your coffeeAnd watch the world aghastThis independenceWe are the metal shell10,000 bodiesRun from an empty wellAll of your loversAre heroes in my bedAll night the echoesOf breathing headsThis independenceWe are the metal shell10,000 bodiesRun from an empty wellAll of your loversAre heroes in my bedAll night the echoesOf breathing heads
