Lyrics :: Watchers (4:07)

Michael Sheppard and James Teh

Verse 1

Just imagine
There were watchers,
Watching humanity.
Not for me,
But for some of us,
This would be brilliant to see.

Chorus 1

Whose axioms are superior?
Superior to mine?
Who would they blame,
They'd be the same,
One on the dice in paradise.

Verse 2

I saw her swallow.
I watched her fall.
She was the greatest, greatest of us all.
She could fly,
So high,
She could never, ever die.

Chorus 2

Whose axioms are superior?
Superior to hers?
Who will she blame?
We are the same,
One on the dice in paradise.

Verse 3

Is it ideology?
Perhaps biology?
Maybe religion, it seems to be our meridian.
Who is the best?
East or the west?
Or colour? For me I just don't care!

Chorus 3

Whose axioms are superior?
Superior to ours?
who will we blame?
We are the same,
One on the dice in paradise!
[reprise] One on the dice,
In paradise.

Notes

Note for pretentious gits: Some of you might be asking: "Why one on the dice in paradise? Shouldn't it be die?" The answer is quite simple. Dice sounds better! If that doesn't satisfy your bewilderment at this breach of grammar, console yourself with the interpretation of the line as follows: "One on the (multitude of) dice in paradise".
