lyrics

We’re going down
We’re on our own
We’re like prisoners in our own homes
The king has long been overthrown

All the riches
All the glamour
Did we think it would last forever?
All favours owed are forgotten

And our fine family name won’t help

We had power
We ruled the night
Wouldn’t think to shun a fight
A barking dog that does bite

All the riches
All the glamour
Did we think it would last forever?
As long as we sat tight

They’re closing in
The sharks are circling
So clear the books
Turn back the clocks

We’re going down
And we’re alone
We’re like prisoners in our own homes
The king has long been dethroned

We’re sinking faster than a bottomless boat
We’re walking on a burning tightrope
And we’re terrified

They’re closing in
The sharks are circling
So clear the books
Turn back the clocks

They’re closing in (I need to protect my own)
The sharks are circling (This is my family’s home)
So clear the books (I’ll just lay low for a while)
Turn back the clocks
