Lyrics

Far from the sea where the water runs dry I had a minor breakdown There's a score of ruins within a morning's walk I had a minor breakdown Nettles growing thickly inside the crumbling walls I had a minor breakdown I'm gonna wander around I had a minor breakdown Listen to the birds screaming in the sky I had a minor breakdown Circling the buildings in the dark of night I had a minor breakdown Lost in the fandango and the enticing plumage Of exotic birds... How well do we know each other? I felt like Satan on Judgment Day I wander the scorching barren wilderness of this world I can't stay put and I can't keep still When the time is right I'm gonna fly fly fly And close my eyes When the time is right I'm gonna fly fly fly And close my eyes behind When the time is right I'm gonna fly fly fly And close my eyes behind the mask of nothingness Sitting on my suitcase Somewhere you shouldn't be Wiping sweat from my brow Something you shouldn't see They said wait right here Dark zones of control won't be much longer now Now the bodies fill the streets I've got a feel for this place Step out into the rain I'm gonna wander round, this quarter has no name Find a place to sleep Blunder in and on to the centre of town I had a minor breakdown I heard evil whispers in the gloom Poisoning the scent of darkness Galloping along through the wind rain and sun A prince of the Edwardian sporting scene Sunny days village cricket tailors in London Slow trains horse races Nostalgia a sepia glow Now I'm sitting at home reading magazines Reading my imaginary rites I want to tell stories I want to tell stories Dumb anonymous and barren Everything important that I have done Can be put into a little suitcase Theres another layer I omit or reject That must be brought to the table You can't assume anything The mask of nothingness The mask of nothingness Atrocity that never goes away None shall slumber or sleep Crawling up the muddy hill Dropping like flies Today we shall war against the roaring of the sea Look back to land and see sorrow The light will be darkened and they shall come with speed Ancient and modern tomorrow Today we shall war against the roaring of the sea Look back to land and see sorrow The light will be darkened and they shall come with speed Ancient and modern tomorrow
