lyrics

Open up your jaws
Take a bite out of the pain
You rusted down to saw
All you need’s a coat of paint
A man sits in your eye
Holds some coffee to his lips
Eight hours every day
He stares out at the ships
As the sun goes round
Above a sleepy town
And the white birds glide
Across the lake blue sky
And the water falls
Into a sea of gold
All the stars so thick
Electric
Night

The dawn it says a prayer
Pats you on the nose
Your palms are pointing in the air
Then the drawbridge closed
As the sun comes round
Above a lonely town
And the white birds glide
Across the lake blue sky
And the winter folds
Into a spring of gold
All the stars so thick
Electric

And the fishin’ boy
Holds an empty line
Dragonflies
On the steel cranes
Are like javelins in the midnight deep
The old bridge hums
The skeleton
And the metal groans
As the engines roll
The whole wide world beyond
Capsized
Moondrake
Fire escape
Steel hull on a frozen lake
Clouds align
Across the ice
A wedding train
Winding down
Into another world
An underworld
Something gold in a drunken world
Dark is doomed
Cold dark room
Infra black
Deep, deep, deep, deep
Dreamland
It’s a dreamland
It’s a dreamland
It’s a dreamland
It’s a dreamland
It’s a dreamland
It’s a dreamland
It’s a dreamland
It’s a dream
