This Independence Lyrics - Manhattan Transfer

The light is bending early 

Around the prodigal 

The gunner whispers gently 

His shadow on the wall 

The crowd is bursting from me 

A single animal 

It finds it's freedom early 

They're gonna take it all 

This independence 

We are the metal shell 

10,000 bodies 

Run from an empty well 

All of your lovers 

Are heroes in my bed 

All night the echoes 

Of breathing heads 

A falling body near me 

A silent angry cry 

A miracle of purpose 

Looks up into the sky 

A camera crew is runnin' 

The world is shrinking fast 

Tonight you drink your coffee 

And watch the world aghast 

This independence 

We are the metal shell 

10,000 bodies 

Run from an empty well 

All of your lovers 

Are heroes in my bed 

All night the echoes 

Of breathing heads 

A camera crew is runnin' 

The world is shrinking fast 

Tonight you drink your coffee 

And watch the world aghast 

This independence 

We are the metal shell 

10,000 bodies 

Run from an empty well 

All of your lovers 

Are heroes in my bed 

All night the echoes 

Of breathing heads 

This independence 

We are the metal shell 

10,000 bodies 

Run from an empty well 

All of your lovers 

Are heroes in my bed 

All night the echoes 

Of breathing heads
