Well there must have been a reason for the smile that you had upon your face last night
Are you the cat that got the cream did you lick your lips did you close your eyes
Can you imagine how it feels it's so hard to reveal
Oh i can't get through and i'm falling

I'm getting out i'm losing ground
The spanish archer's gonna bring you down.

Is there someone somewhere waiting in the wings to take my place
Let's not drag it out like a cagney death scene
In this season of change it's not hard to explain
Like the leaves on the trees i'm falling

And as you turn don't look away
The Spanish archer's gonna make you pay.

Do you remember when the sky was blue we used to talk for miles
And now we drive along in this thundering silence.
It's such an obvious lie with that easy smile of yours
I'm letting go and I'm falling

I'm getting out losing ground
The Spanish archer's gonna bring you down, oh.

Well is there something i can say as we stumble to the edge have we gone too far
Why don't we call it a day before we call it a nightmare darlin'
If we made a mistake then all that it takes to be free
Is the wave of a hand and you're falling

And as you turn don't look away
The Spanish archer's gonna make you pay.
