Lyrics

The earth is such a long way down from here Watching the evening slide away and drift clear Darkness slips across its face and turning 'round The distant lights all fade away They slowly winking off and out They slowly winking off and out Pieces are coming apart with a static hiss Can't see the stream through all of this Can't escape the slow down grind Desperate slow decline that takes its time And slowly takes apart your mind Slowly takes apart your mind As the signal comes in and the lights decay Put the hollow screen up to my face Shed my diamond skin and let the outside in Lights blurring down the tunnel Bar-code the windshield Dazzled strips of fluoro-aftertaste Ionocrome I'm all alone and drenched in drone A scratchy wind-up gramophone It's such a long way down Such a long way down It's such an awful long way A long way away from home Such an awful long way home As the signal comes in and the lights go out Put my face up to the screen Shed my diamond skin to let the light pour in Shed my diamond skin to let the light pour in Signal comes in and the lights go out Shed my diamond skin to let the light pour in
