Lyrics
Kings and sons of God
Travel on their way from here
Calming restless mobs
Easing all of their, all of their fear

Strange times are here
Strange times are here

Statue in the square
Meant so much when it first stood
People come from far and near
To bless them if, bless them if it would

Strange times are here
Strange times are here

Sadie, dry your tears
I will be the one
To pull you through the mere
Before you come, before you come undone

Strange times are here
Strange times are here
Strange times are here
Strange times are here

Fuck, this movie is awesome! Fuck, this vid is awesome!

This captures the weird millennial paranoia of the mid-90s perfectly. Love the music choice.

Oh that was gorgeous - the song was just perfectly matched to the source. Beautiful work.

Awesome song for this! The whole vid was driving and creepy and a great ride.

Ugh, I love this movie and haven't seen it in way too long. Wonderful vid. Along with all the movement and chaos I love that you made room for some really nice moments of intimacy between Lenny and Mace.
