[al:The Boatman's Call] |
| [00:00.00] |
I remember a girl so very well |
| [00:07.46] |
The carnival drums all mad in the air |
| [00:13.32] |
Grim reapers and skeletons and a missionary bell |
| [00:19.34] |
Oh, where do we go now but nowhere |
| [00:25.22] |
In a colonial hotel we fucked up the sun |
| [00:31.76] |
And then we fucked it down again |
| [00:37.56] |
Well the sun comes up and the sun goes down |
| [00:43.32] |
Going round and round to nowhere |
| [00:49.19] |
The kitten that padded and purred on my lap |
| [00:55.21] |
Now swipes at my face with the paw of a bear |
| [01:01.15] |
I turn the other cheek and you lay into that |
| [01:06.97] |
Oh, where do we go now but nowhere |
| [01:15.32] |
Oh, wake up, my love, my lover, wake up |
| [01:27.53] |
Oh, wake up, my love, my lover, wake up |
| [01:39.48] |
Across clinical benches with nothing to talk |
| [01:45.52] |
Breathing tea and biscuits and the Serenity Prayer |
| [01:51.46] |
While the bones of our child crumble like chalk |
| [01:57.67] |
Oh, where do we go now but nowhere |
| [02:02.71] |
I remember a girl so bold and so bright |
| [02:09.56] |
Loose-limbed and laughing and brazen and bare |
| [02:14.85] |
Sits gnawing her knuckles in the chemical light |
| [02:21.44] |
Oh, where do we go now but nowhere |
| [02:26.96] |
You come for me now with a cake that you've made |
| [02:32.79] |
Ravaged avenger with a clip in your hair |
| [02:38.39] |
Full of glass and bleach and my old razorblades |
| [02:44.69] |
Oh, where do we go now but nowhere |
| [02:52.05] |
Oh, wake up, my love, my lover, wake up |
| [03:04.02] |
Oh, wake up, my love, my lover, wake up |
| [03:16.16] |
If they'd give me my clothes back then I could go home |
| [03:22.60] |
From this fresh, this clean, antiseptic air |
| [03:28.29] |
Behind the locked gates an old donkey moans |
| [03:34.85] |
Oh, where do we go now but nowhere |
| [03:40.36] |
Around the duck pond we grimly mope |
| [03:46.36] |
Gloomily and mournfully we go rounds again |
| [03:52.28] |
And one more doomed time and without much hope |
| [03:58.81] |
Going round and around to nowhere |
| [04:04.26] |
From the balcony we watched the carnival band |
| [04:10.00] |
The crack of the drum a little child did scare |
| [04:15.94] |
I can still feel his tiny fingers pressed in my hand |
| [04:22.42] |
Oh, where do we go now but nowhere |
| [04:27.95] |
If I could relive one day of my life |
| [04:33.92] |
If I could relive just a single one |
| [04:39.79] |
You on the balcony, my future wife |
| [04:46.34] |
Oh who could have known, but no one |
| [04:54.23] |
Oh, wake up, my love, my lover, wake up |
| [05:05.54] |
Oh, wake up, my love, my lover, wake up |
| [05:17.21] |
Oh, wake up, my love, my lover, wake up |
| [05:29.04] |
Oh, wake up, my love, my lover, wake up |
