Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a crumbling statue Next to heaven's gate And it's covered in scratches That the weather made It has an old engraving Though it's growing faint And it says things Always change [Verse 2] And you felt it mostly In your melted youth When you held him closely And you held him true But you grew complacent Like you knew he'd stay Now you know things Always change [Verse 3] You're performing favours You're in foreign trade Your important papers In the pouring rain And the ink's all bleeding And it can't be saved But you know things Always change [Verse 4] In the radiation In the radio waves In the drainage basin Full of ancient rain In the publications In the painted caves It is plainly stated Written plain as day That we know things Always change [Verse 5] Though your faith is fading You're remaining chaste There's a trace of anger In your saviour's face And the sons of Jacob Wrote an old refrain Hear the angels play it When you misbehave But the arrangements Always change [Verse 6] By the light of nothing You're writing lines of code You're dividing constants Trying to find unknowns And there's this endless number Filling every page And it proves things Always change
