Farewell Transmission
The whole place is dark Every light on this side of the town Suddenly it all went down Now we'll all be brothers of the fossil fire of the sun Now we'll all be sisters of the fossil blood of the moon Someone must have set us up Now they'll be working in the cold grey rock, Now they'll be working in the hot mill steam, Now they'll be working in the concrete In the sirens and the silences now all the great set up hearts All at once start to beat After tonight if you don't want us to be a secret out of the past I will resurrect it, I'll have a good go at it I'll streak his blood across my beak and dust my feathers with his ashes feel his ghost breathing down my back I will try and know whatever I try, I will be gone but not forever I will try and know whatever I try, I will be gone but not forever The real truth about it is no one gets it right The real truth about it is we're all supposed to try There ain't no end to the sands I've been trying to cross The real truth about it is, my life's no better off I've got the map, but water that's lost Songtexte We will try and know whatever we'll try, We will be gone but not forever We will try and know whatever we'll try, We will be gone but not forever The real truth about it is there ain't no end to the desert I'll cross I've really known that all along Mama here comes midnight with the dead moon in its jaws Must be the big star about to fall Mama here comes midnight with the dead moon in its jaws Must be the big star about to fall Long dark blues I'll go where Long dark blues The big star is falling Long dark blues I'll go where Through the static and distance Long dark blues A farewell transmission Long dark blues Listen Long dark blues Listen Long dark blues Listen Long dark blues Listen Aus Songtexte Mania
