Hanging on like hell to the safety chain
|
Lifebuoy crash lands in a vale of tears
|
All the lovers are in retreat
|
Out on the edge of the nervous street
|
|
So deaf to the call of the wild
|
Deaf to the first born's whispering plea
|
Expanding frame the city is in heat
|
Burning at the edges of the lonely street
|
|
But I want to hold your precious head
|
I will not leave you nor pretend
|
I'm going to hold you to the end
|
|
Hey mama didn't know we'd end up here
|
The snapshot is all tiles and red walls
|
Down at the squatter's camps they cannot compete
|
The shepherd has been bound up by his hands and his feet
|
|
Make love make peace make haste it's a slow release
|
Great changes gonna carry you
|
Make love make peace make haste it's a slow release
|
Great changes gonna carry you
|
