Holy lights of the high rise
The city grows with these new lights
Angels in the car park
Buried under the tarmac
Set a stage, no, I prefer to be
Behind the curtain, the path of life flirting
Oh, with the dust of the night
Oh, with the dust of the night
And I pray for the dark to linger
Well, I never was one for it
Well, I dress for the dead and play pretend
I never was, never was
Like I never was, never was
Never was
Never was
Never was
Never was
Our ancestors ringing
A cold call from the beginning
To bring another to this
Oh, what the hell were you thinking?
No, what the hell were you thinking?
Well, maybe one day
They will also hide from the light of the Lord
Oh, and the dust of the damned
And the dust of the damned
And they pray for the dark to linger
Saying they never were one for it
Well, they dress for the dead and play pretend
They never were, never were
Like they never were, never were
Never were
Never were
Never were
Never were
But if I never was
If you never were
How different do you think
Anything would be?
And if I never was
And if you never were
If anywhere at all
Where do you think we’d be?
Do you think we’d be
Do you think we’d be
Where our dead pats are sleeping
And the ghosts of woodlice are creeping
When the wind blows, no river flows
No chemicals interact
Something [?] we find you there
Something [?] we find you there
Oh, even if we’re not aware
I hope somehow you find me there
