Hold on hold on, let me get the words
out before I burst
There's no truth at all poking
at the giant eyes of ancient gods
Cool heads have failed now
it's time for me to have my turn
Kiss me kiss me,
life is way too short
to scream and shout.

Flashed up in my wildest dreams
the dark red blood streams
Stretching out like vast cracked ice
The veins of you the veins of me
like great forest trees
Pushing through and on and in
Gliding like a satellite
in the broken night
And when I wake you're there I'm saved
Your love is life piled tight
and high set against the sky
That seems to balance on it's own

Sing out sing out,
the silence only eats us
from the inside up
I meant no harm but I only get
to say these words too late
Wake up wake up,
sleeping only leads to more
and more nightmares
Snap out of it you said it in a way
that showed you really cared.

Flashed up in my wildest dreams
the dark red blood streams
Stretching out like vast cracked ice
The veins of you the veins of me
like great forest trees
Pushing through and on and in
Gliding like a satellite
in the broken night
And when I wake
you're there I'm saved
Your love is life piled tight
and high set against the sky
That seems to balance on it's own

Send your lifeboats out for me
Send your lifeboat out
