lyrics
Under a knife
Rich in blood
Into the night
Hot with love
Leave the money
Take the drugs
Type the story
Pull the plugs
Leave the scene
Address the fans
Come clean
Shake their hands
Kiss the beasts
Where they stand
Make a move
Change your plans
New term for tomorrow
New take on creation
Trade in your sorrow
For interpretation
Shadows of shorelines
Love is a disguise
The ocean raises a hand and sweeps you in
Under the lights
After the flood
Holding a knife
The hand of god
Rowing away
Into the dusk
The wasted thoughts
Rust into dust
Leave your throne
Take your place
Report back home
Follow the chase
Over and out
And far away
These are the last
Words you will say
A portrait of fallacy
The hands of the ghosts who row
Waiting to go back home
This is my garden
These stories will grow up from the earth
An ocean to guard them
Religion based on their natural birth
The meaning is all used up
The secret is disappointingly clear
A notion to self destruct
A cue card to sum up all your fears
These are my closest friends
And these are my very best years
How time will starve them
Feed my hunger to live through the tears
We're rowing away
Rich in blood
Into the night
Hot with love
Leave the money
Take the drugs
Type the story
Pull the plugs
Leave the scene
Address the fans
Come clean
Shake their hands
Kiss the beasts
Where they stand
Make a move
Change your plans
New term for tomorrow
New take on creation
Trade in your sorrow
For interpretation
Shadows of shorelines
Love is a disguise
The ocean raises a hand and sweeps you in
Under the lights
After the flood
Holding a knife
The hand of god
Rowing away
Into the dusk
The wasted thoughts
Rust into dust
Leave your throne
Take your place
Report back home
Follow the chase
Over and out
And far away
These are the last
Words you will say
A portrait of fallacy
The hands of the ghosts who row
Waiting to go back home
This is my garden
These stories will grow up from the earth
An ocean to guard them
Religion based on their natural birth
The meaning is all used up
The secret is disappointingly clear
A notion to self destruct
A cue card to sum up all your fears
These are my closest friends
And these are my very best years
How time will starve them
Feed my hunger to live through the tears
We're rowing away

The Tom Fun Orchestra
We dug for days
The dirty piled higher
The hole was the truth
The mound was the liar.
