lyrics

Without rhyme or reason you understand nothing at all
You're looking for answers to questions you can't quite recall
Yes it okay
Guess it's alright to be down on your luck

Nothing can hold you they told you, you ate every word
Now you choked on the bittersweet tang of the faintly absurd
Get on your bike, I've got a bridge you can buy if you like

You know, sometimes, the moon looks redder than your eyes
Don't kill anybody yet
When the soles of your preachers are wearing through
There are losers out there who are envying you
But it's all cold comfort now

Nothing can hold you they told you, you ate every word
And you choked on the bittersweet tang of the faintly absurd
Get on your bike, I've got a bridge you can buy if you like

You know, sometimes, the moon looks redder than your eyes
Don't kill anybody yet
When you're running like hell just to catch the train
There are parties onboard who might share your pain
And when the soles of your preachers are wearing through
There are losers out there who are envying you
But it's all cold comfort now

For those that remember the Look and Read series in the early eighties (which had such programmes as 'Dark Towers'), in my opinion this music evokes those feelings of mystery and wonder. Very, very impressed. Trebör
