Lyrics

It's been a long time And time changed everything Apart from the blue tattoo along your skin And your salt tears It's been a slow year The un-fruitless Rorschach test that I took for you All that I could make out were your Polynesian shoes And your soft tears Hey man, where's the money gone I was in the drink, I was swimming on Startled by the song the seabird sung And all the years line up, giddy, they wait They descend the stairs of the cabaret by late And as they skip off make plans on which to renege It's been a long time For you blue I cut my foot forcing the shoe And the red flame vase I blew for you And your hot tears Hey man, where did the fun go I was in the drink, I was diving low Aiming for the bottom of everything And all the pretty years line up, to say "It was a nice interior onto which the wrong light played Marks deducted for the unclean stage" It's been a long time And time changed everything Hey man where's the money gone I was in the drink I was swimming on Frightened by the song the bitter gull sung And all the birds line up to say "It was a bad idea that the romantico guitar played" But it echoes deep in the cavity
