FROM HERE YOU CAN ALMOST SEE THE SEA

Come the weekend

And we’ll long gone baby

Just like the old days

Letting the world flow through me

Just a parasite in the line

I'm smoking, killing the time

How long’s a piece of twine

What use is sympathy

From here you can almost see the sea

If you would hold still

Could make a clean incision

We could sit back

And watch the demolition

Little puppy dog in a box

Somebody’s picking the locks

Must want the darn from the socks

Here comes the cavalry

From here you can almost see the sea

Just another fool in a line

I dream of high clouds

Flushed with the light of daybreak

I'm gonna dive in

To a water so cold it makes your bones ache

Fingers, knees and knuckles scraped

All of the rubbish heaped

A piece of cardboard taped

Up where the bedroom window pane used to be

From here you can almost

From here you can almost see the sea

Just another fool in a line

Just another fool in a line

I saw a film once

Where all the airholes froze up

A killer whale swam

Under the blue ice

'til her heart stopped
