about

written in 1985, the song was used on many occasions by the band 'they might be giants' as their 'walk-on' intro tape... a demo tape cassette found its way to the band in NYC in 1988...

lyrics

I know, I know they might be giants
I know, I know

In the days to come see the ruins rise
While the giants sleep in the ruined skies
Will the giants come down to earth
And somewhere under the sun
We will find the days to come
You already kiss the broken sky

They might be giants
This world might go too far
I should be saving the tears
I need an ocean to get to you
I might be giant too

Poor mother earth her pain is deep
The giants know her heart is sweet
Who knows how long for her
And somewhere under the sun
Now it doesn’t seem so far
I’m further from your heart

They might be giants
This world might go too far
I should be saving the tears
I need an ocean to get to you
I might be giant too

I left the lights on
I turned the screws
I changed the channel now
I can’t find you
I paint by numbers
I catch disease
I follow the leader now
So, I can be free
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I know, I know they might be giants
I know, I know

What did you find inside the grave
Bones playing with silence
Lost in their place
You search, I close my eyes
And hearts beat under the earth
Every echo wins a tear
You carry summer’s last rose in your heart

They might be giants
This world might go too far
I should be saving the tears
I need an ocean to get to you
This world might go too far
I should be saving the tears
I need an ocean to get to you
I might be giant too
