I
Fought the angels here today
Hope
My defeat will end this play
Everybody knows that
I only have myself to blame
Everybody knows that
Softly, softly wins the game

Trust
I'll try to learn again
My words
Are seldom for a friend

Knew
At the time that they came out
Wish
I could have them disallowed
Everybody knows that
We say things we do not mean
Everybody knows that
We say things that are unclean

Trust
I'll try to learn again
My words
Are seldom for a friend

Run
Conversations in my head
Write
My own scripts to dish the dread
And if I speak out loud
I will have to change the rules
For speaking's out of bounds
If it's practised by a fool

Trust
I'll try to learn again
My words
Are seldom for a friend
So lend me
An ear to lean upon
To speak to
And learn my speaking from

see a place, see a sore
see a reason to believe in more
better still take a walk
take a pickup from the only stop
she is ill, he is still
just as tired* as he was before
comes around with some chat
with a dagger hanging in your back

it's insane because
everybody come down
we can drive
we can race
we can celebrate space
everybody come down
to the place I've erased
I started to believe
but I never did believe in you

got a slap in your face from the mafia who ran the place
was a girl with the thrill liked to show me how she knew the drill
for a while kept head low* then decided I could ace her blow
moved away then she stayed now she's living for the hit parade

it's insane because
everybody come down
we can drive
we can race
we can celebrate space
everybody come down
to the place I've erased
I started to believe
but I never did believe in you

everybody come down
we can drive
we can race
we can celebrate space
everybody come down
we have hills
we have pills
we have people in place

everybody come down
everybody come down
everybody come down
everybody come down
everybody come down
everybody come down
everybody come down
everybody come down
down down down down down
down down down
down down down down down
down down down

So she said
Far enough
Far enough is here
Homeward bound
Pieces found
Rest is all you need

Saw a girl
She was taking a walk
She was looking round for someone else
She was hiding from everything
Even scared of her own reflection

This is how it feels to drown
This is how we come undone

When you just can't remember
How you came by the memories that you have
These are days that go on too long
These are days that you really don't want to last

This is how it feels to drown
This is how we come undone

Take me back
The sky and the earth
Just relax
For what it is worth
I love you, dear
I will hold you near

Why am I not questioning?
Why am I not running from all I know?
All I know is forgotten now
I think my circle is about to close

This is how it feels to drown
This is how we come undone

Take me back
The sky and the earth
Just relax
For what it is worth
I love you, dear
I will hold you near

you're a single survivor
found an ocean between you and those that you lost
got a phonecall this morning
told your sisters had always been part of the quest
will they know what you look like
when you step of the bus will they run to your side
like they know you from photos
like they know you from stories that kept you alive

are you gonna sink or swim
from coast to coast is more than you bargin for
are you gonna lose or win
from ties and lies
is something worth trying for

when you sit round the table
will you look into the faces and just see your own
will you talk of the future
will you talk of the things that were almost unknown

are you gonna sink or swim (it's so strange)
from coast to coast is more than you bargin for
are you gonna lose or win (it's so strange)
from ties and lies
is something worth trying for 4x

Bits of bone and lucky stones
Fly the flags cause flags are flown
By this will convey to me
By my monkeys up my tree

Everything wanted is yours, you should know
You can come, you can go
Anything wanted is yours, don't you know?
Easy come, easy go

Bits of bone and broken phones
Currency within my home
If you come round he'll make you bleed
Steal your eyes to make them see

Everything wanted is yours, you should know
You can come, you can go
Anything wanted is yours, don't you know?
Easy come, easy go

By the time I had switched on the light
By the time I forgot how to fight
There were echoes of truth running free
What was more, I was out, I could hear

Bits of bone and saxophones
Fly the flags as flags are flown
By this will convey to me
By my monkeys up my tree
I know them and they know me
