Elysian Fields - Last Night on Earth lyrics

On a high cliff Above the sound A table was set 'neath the firmament shroud A rare invitation Blew in from the east On an island once sacred To both native and beast We s**ed and we savoured All that we tasted Wine flowing like water Not a drop of it wasted The evening unfolded Like a great fan I found myself drifting Down to the sand Down to the sand What came over me Over me, over me Like some alien force That took hold of me I wasn't myself But I started dancing Lost in this song Under a trance and I felt myself falling under a spell I knew very well I might never return To the land of the living And then I was giving myself To the light And then I took flight I shot up like a kite It was my last night on earth My last night on earth If you find this bottle Bobbing its head Smash it to pieces Be sure that it's read I have departed Say my goodbyes I loved you more than You ever realized I loved you more than You ever realized What came over me Over me, over me Like some alien force That took hold of me I wasn't myself But I started dancing Lost in this song Under a trance and I felt myself falling under a spell I knew very well I might never return To the land of the living And then I was giving myself To the light And then I took flight I shot up like a kite It was my last night on earth My last night on earth My last night on earth My last night on earth
