LYRICS:

No more looking at the statues lying down
No more looking at them lying there on the ground
No more looking for the temple that canʼt be found
No more looking at the statues lying down

Leave the boys alone, leave the boys alone
Leave the boys alone and pull the temple
Leave the boys alone, leave the boys alone
Leave the boys alone and pull the temple down

My whole world is an aviary
Itʼs time for you to discover me
When the diving bell sounds the final call
You can tell them all what youʼve seen here
What the future holds is far down the road
I donʼt care no more I want my freedom

No more looking at the statues lying down
No more looking at them lying there on the ground
No more looking for the temple that canʼt be found
No more looking at the statues lying down

Leave the boys alone leave the boys alone
Leave the boys alone and pull the temple
Leave the boys alone leave the boys alone
Leave the boys alone and pull the temple down

No more two for you and one for me
With all I fear inside your memory
Broken hides and hands, they will pave the way
When things tear apart youʼre gonna need me
When the helpers fall and the beauty fades
the sideline grind is not that pretty at all

No more looking at the statues lying down
No more looking at them lying there on the ground
No more looking for the temple that canʼt be found
No more looking at the statues lying down

Leave the boys alone, leave the boys alone
Leave the boys alone and pull the temple
Leave the boys alone, leave the boys alone
Leave the boys alone and pull the temple down
