Lyrics of Cowboys - Live by Portishead
verse
Did you sweep us far from your feet?
Reset in stone,this stark belief?
Salted eyes and a soiled eye
Too many years
chorus
But don't despair
This day, will be their damnedest day
Oh, if you take these things from me
verse
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
verse
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
Writer(s): Beth Gibbons, Geoffrey Barrow
