Searchlights
View ArtistLyrics
[Verse 1] I see fences where there was no fence before Flesh-tearing wire hasn't even rusted 'round the door Oh aye, the beauty that I could show to you Outside in the distance I hear something coming through Oh I said, outside in the distance there is something coming through [Chorus] And outside in the distance where those searchlights don't go There's an immigrant who's crouching with the bundle of his clothes The bushes start a-rustling, so he takes to his toes Just singing "This is the last of my shows..." [Verse 2] Here, beyond the wire, you turn the water black The men around you paid a weekly wage, just to turn you back Oh how they keep their petty kingdoms well in view Outside in the distance I hear something coming through Oh I said, outside in the distance there is something coming through [Chorus] And outside in the distance where those searchlights don't go There's an immigrant who's crouching with the bundle of his clothes The bushes start a-rustling, so he takes to his toes Just singing "This is the last of my shows..." [Verse 3] A crossroads is no crossroads when there's but one route to take Your fantasy of liberty is a red sign on the gate I think these thoughts as I walk along a tree-lined avenue Outside in the distance I hear something coming through Oh I said, outside in the distance there is something coming through [Chorus] And outside in the distance where those searchlights don't go There's an immigrant who's crouching with the bundle of his clothes The bushes start a-rustling, so he takes to his toes Just singing "This is the last of my shows..."
