The Diving Bell

Lyrics

Come close to the eye, that I might only see you Here from my side of my water of my blue screen blues There's a path headed out to the bright lights And a myriad of sways And no dice for the radio silence On our pirated waves I'm a far-and-away-now vagrant I'm drifted off coast Settled in to a concrete rhythm Beating slowly and close And in the hands of a foreign danger And in the enemy's fire As close as you've come to living In a long long time But I dreamed of voices They were calling out to you "Come alive, come alive in the fire" I swear everything's true Everything is true Sleep now on the bed that so evades my breath Don't dream of the days we're given up Through the night's unslept Come and dance by the armoured soldiers for the menace of peace Come and stand by the ghetto blasters playing "fuck tha police" In a way we're a lot like strangers And the end of our rope In a way this lonesome chasm makes us Holy and close If there's a fight in the batting cages For the rest of our time Come alive, come alive 'cause you never know When something is right Avert your eyes, forever my love is true Avert your eyes if everything we love we lose Everything is true (Everything is true) With everything to lose (With everything to lose) Close enough's not giving up And just enough's no good to us Hold to doubt or hope for more But I know we'll never die I'll never leave you in the gutter No, you'll never die I'll never leave you in the gutter Close enough's not good enough And just enough's no good to us Hold to doubt or work for more So I know you'll never die I'll never leave you in the gutter No you'll never die I wanna see you again No you'll never die I wanna see you again No, no, no, no I wanna see you again
