Sister Seven - Elijah

Elijah weeps to the pavement
Hands outstretched and worn
Everyday is getting harder
But what does it matter
She says my love
Oh could you help me
But it resolves to nothing

Her words cry out
Like a flock of black birds
She says could you spare....
But he doesn't bother

Fallen once
Now falling faster
We'll dissolve to laughter
'cause we're all here
But hardly notice
We're not getting better

I wake up early
Grab my things and I'm out the door
Everyday I'm working harder

To keep up the payments
And the rise and the fall
Up above the carpet clouds
Perspective changes
'cause we're wrestling over tiny matters

The majesty
Of all we forget
I'm stuck on a jet plane
And I remember

Fallen once
Now falling faster
We'll dissolve to laughter
'cause we're all here
But hardly notice
We're not getting better
The sky is screaming
We've taken over
So self-important and overdone
Some believe
That we're all angels
But we don't remember
