Lyrics
ALL SPELLED OUT/
WHEN DID THE ARROW GO ASTRAY?
Place
There’s a feeling here
A memory
Oh so long ago
A space
An anniversary
A trace
Time has made it a casualty
(chorus 1)
Here is how it’s all spelled out
Confusion an illusion
And the mother of doubt
I scratch my head
And I widen my eyes
I can’t believe the truth or the lies
Despair
It’s the worried look
Repair
It’s the time you took
Fair
Like the skies today
Beware
Try these times are grey
(chorus 1 repeat)
How did we get to this point?
How did we get so wrong
It’s the lack of control
We must all stay strong
To get through this crisis
I should live so long
(chorus 2)
When did the arrow go astray?
When did we curse the light of the day?
Be careful
Walking through the mind field
Where you step
Or the banana peel
Pick and choose
Where you might fall
Your terms not theirs
In the eyes of a doll.
(chorus 2 repeat)
