Herriot Row - The Older Brother Says Goodbye

Won't you turn your back on this moment for a moment
And look with me on the brazen days, the highball all nighters
And let's not return to face the day
The day that I have ordained
Till the clock in my chest begins to tick a little lighter

We built our kingdom on crystal rocks that came from Jakarta
And Chinese pure tinted our windows, gilded the frames
Yeah we rode the ice floe all the way to the top of the market
Where in burning neons we spelt out our coded names

Beginners luck begins to dwindle
Like stars when the dawn comes
I drifted from you as you drifted too damn close to the source
Yeah you sure got a taste for more than the job
And then you wanted the keys to my kingdom
Well I couldn't step back and just watch nature take its course

So here we stand on the threshold of our separate ways
And this is not the kind of scene you get to rehearse
Where I am the one about to break
The only commandment we haven't yet broken
And you are the one who said to always plan for the worst
