Scrapyard Lullaby Songtext

In a sea of steel I seen a golden glow
Screaming the message anyone could know
Like a walking translation on a street of lies
Singing this scrapyard lullaby

I'm gonna take my time for her riches
Wait for the diamonds to ripen in the ditches
Of love around here
Things are never as they appear

Got a natural pear in my calloused hand
Saved for the girl who could really understand
What it takes to see
The gold from the alchemy

From a rusted hood I seen the stars fall about
Screaming the message anyone could find out
Like a walking translation down a street of lies
Singing these scrapyard lullabies
Hush now baby dream sweet things
Mama gonna bring your anvil some wings
She will let it go
You won't even know

Cause the chrome do rust and the dust do shine
Broken could be golden in its very own time
You can be sure
You won't even know what for

Now I'm down in the junk on a darkened day
Searching through the prizes others throw away
Like a walking translation on a street of lies
Singing these scrapyard lullabies
Wake up running on the sacred ground
35 angels leading her around, like a
Walking translation down a street of lies
Singing this scrapyard lullaby
Singing this scrapyard lullaby
