Wires in the Walls
Twin Jet Engines
On a day like any otherSky pristine and powder blueIt was just as I'd expectedI was still thinking of youAs the room around us blackenedInto artificial nightI watched everything I'd hoped forSlipping slowly out of sightAnd I know your heart was breakingAs you thought about your pastAnd you asked me why I dressed myselfIn burning dust and ashAnd the smoke spread out like waterAnd the steel it fell like snowWe can hold each other tightly dearThere's noplace left to goAnd in the roar of twin jet enginesHeard the ghost in the machineAnd I thought I heard them whisperWe'll be strongest at the seamsNow we dream in perfect imagerySongtexteOf all the aeroplanesThough we prayed they'd touch down softlyWill they all return to flames?So I'll say don't you cry my darlinShut your eyes and take my handWe'll be free when we are fallingWhen we all return to sandAnd I know this too shall passAnd I know this too shall passAnd I know this too shall passAnd I know this too shall passThis too shall passThis too shall passAnd in the roar of twin jet enginesHeard the ghost in the machineAnd I thought I heard them whisperYou'll be strongest at the seams
