Bubble

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Let's begin at the top: There's no reason to think that this will ever stop So let's go back and start again; In this finite uncertainty we'll circle round and then Sail a craft of self-conviction Across tomorrow-never-knows Where the surface stays unruffled While the coral clusters quietly down below [Bridge] Cutting figures of pride and will like Leonardo cartoons We go flying formation in our hot-air speech balloons [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Can't go back, can't reverse... No-one here really quite believes The bubble's going to The bubble's going to The bubble's going to burst [Verse 2] I fell off the raft of self-assurance Into undertow that sucked me dry and deep; Bent double by thought bubbles flooding through my blood I surfaced from a lifetime's worth of sleep Yeah, I remember once I gave myself the lecture Swore on life as both a blessing and a curse But all solid faith seems nothing but conjecture Now the bubble's going to Bubble's going to Bubble's going to Bubble's going to burst [Bridge] And our bones become the coral of the future And we slake the life-long thirst; With a pin-prick, on a reef like a razor The bubble's going to burst [Outro] The bubble's sure to burst
