| see them walking hand in hand across
the bridge at midnight · heads turning as the lights
flashing out are so bright · and walk right out
to the four line track · there's a camera rolling
on her back · on her back · and I sense
a rhythm humming in a frenzy all the way down her spine
|
| girls on film ·
girls on film · girls on film · girls on
film |
| lipstick cherry all over
the lens as she's falling · and miles of sharp
blue water coming in where she lies · the diving
man's coming up for air · 'cause the crowd all
love pulling dolly by the hair · by the hair ·
and she wonders how she ever got here as she goes under
again |
| girls on film ·
two minutes later · girls on film · girls
on film · got your picture · girls on film
|
| wider baby smile and
you've just made a million · fuses pumping live
heat twisting out on a wire · take one last glimpse
into the night · I'm touching close I'm holding
bright · holding tight · give me shudders
in a whisper · take me up til I'm shooting a star
|
| girls on film ·
she's more than a lady · girls on film ·
girls on film · two minutes later · girls
on film · girls on film · see you together
· girls on film · girls on film ·
see you later · girls on film |

|
| only came outside to
watch the nightfall with the rain · I heard you
making patterns rhyme · like some new romantic
looking for the tv sound · you'll see I'm right
some other time |
| look now look all around
· there's not sign of life · voices another
sound · can you hear me now · this is planet
earth · you're looking at planet earth ·
bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop · this is planet
earth |
| my head is stuck on
something precious · let me know if you're coming
down to land · is there anybody out there trying
to get through · my eyes are so cloudy I can't
see you |
| look now look all around
· there's no sign of life · voices another
sound · can you hear me now · this is planet
earth · you're looking at planet earth ·
bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop · this is planet
earth |
| look now look all around
· there's no sign of life · voices another
sound · can you hear me now · this is planet
earth · you're looking at planet earth ·
bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop · this is planet
earth · bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop ·
calling planet earth · bop bop bop bop bop bop
bop bop · looking at planet earth · bop
bop bop bop bop bop bop bop · this is planet earth

| I never found out what
made you leave · and now the day's over ·
just an hour to go · I tried to phone last night
· but you never answered · just left me
ringing on the line |
| outside · is there
anyone out there · anyone else outside ·
oh outside love · is there anyone out there ·
anyone else outside? |
| my face in the mirror
shows a break in time · a crack in the ocean that
does not align · I tried to sleep last night ·
but I caught you dreaming · about days we used
to wonder away |
| outside · is there
anyone out there · anyone else outside ·
oh outside love · is there anyone out there ·
anyone else outside |
| look out of the window
maybe you can call by my name · another night over
babe another light comes on in vain · I tried to
phone last night · but you never answered ·
just left me ringing in the air |
| is there anyone out there
· anyone out there · oh · anyone
out there· anyone out there · oh ·
anyone out there · anyone out there · oh
· anyone out there· anyone out there ·
oh · anyone out there · anyone out there

|
| when your nine day feed
is up · and you've drained your loving cup ·
come stands reeling to the shore · when the brave
are coming out · the dry fight and the dusty shout
· see you crawling on the floor · and diamond
stars shine glitter bright · gorging your sanhedralite
|
| words are falling to
the floor |
| glands stand pouring
fruit tree · now they glisten on the water line
· see how you are at the shore · I'm moving
chrissie pretty flowers in the shutter maze · haul
up all your petty desires |
| leave it lying down
before |
| wash away the rusty
disease · of your brown town days in our silver
sea · leave it dying at the door · feather
yell you've time to leave · open out your arms
and breathe |
| oh · oh ·
oh · to the shore now · oh · oh ·
oh · to the shore now · come on |
|
|
|
| so soon · just
after you've gone · my senses sharpen ·
but it always takes · so damned long · before
I feel how much my eyes have darkened |
| fear hangs a plane of
gunsmoke · drifting in our room |
| so easy to disturb ·
with a thought · with a whisper |
| with a careless memory
· with a careless memory |
| on the table ·
signs of love lie scattered · and the walls break
· with a crashing within · it's not as though
· as though you really mattered · but being
close · how could I let you go · without
some feeling · some precious sympathy following
|
| fear hangs a plane of
gunsmoke · drifting in our room |
| so easy to disturb ·
with a thought · with a whisper |
| with a careless memory
· with a careless memory · with a careless
memory · with a careless memory |
| I walk out into the
sun · I try to find a new day · but the
whole place · it just screams in my eyes ·
where are you now · 'cause I don't want to meet
you · I think I'd die · I think I'd laugh
at you · I know I'd cry · what am I supposed
to do · follow you |
| outside the thoughts
· come flooding back now · I just try to
forget you |
| so easy to disturb ·
with a thought · with a whisper |
| with a careless memory
· with a careless memory · with a careless
memory · with a careless memory |
| with a careless memory
|
| look out · look
out · look out |
|
|
|
| standing · on
the edge of the quay · no lights flashing on the
water for me · fog in my mind · darkens
in my eyes · silently screaming for a distant sound
· ripple river yellow · rising for a breath
of breeding and drowns · stillness overcome me
in the night · listen to the rising water moan
|
| I'm waiting ·
waiting for the nightboat · I'm waiting ·
waiting for the nightboat |
| shadows all through me
· shudder away · echo me echo me ·
am I alone or is the river alive · 'cause it echoes
me echoes me · echoes me |
| I'm waiting ·
waiting for the nightboat · I'm waiting ·
waiting for the nightboat |
| waiting · waiting
for the nightboat · I'm waiting · waiting
for the nightboat · waiting for the nightboat ·
I'm waiting · waiting for the nightboat |
| I'm waiting for the nightboat

|
| I've been in this grass
here for the last ten hours · my clothes are dirty
but my mouth isn't dry · how does it happen ·
does it fly through the air · oh I gave up asking
days away |
| I gave up asking ·
days away |
| and now I'm lying here
waiting for the sound of thunder · waiting for
the sound of thunder |
| here I am · I'm
a dotted line · cut the corner stick me to your
door · I'm the man who stepped off the path |
| and I just lie here
· it's what I was made for |
| and now my eyes are
closing · but I still feel the land · leaning
out for the touch of my hand |
| the world spins so fast
· that I might fly off · the world spins
so fast · that I might fly off · the world
spins so fast · I might fly off |
| waiting for the sound
of thunder · I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
· I'm waiting for the sound of thunder ·
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder · I'm waiting
for the sound of thunder · I'm waiting for the
sound of thunder · I'm waiting for the sound of
thunder |
