lyrics

ON A BOAT THAT SAILS THROUGH SPACE
THROUGH DARK HOLES IN THE SKY
PEOPLE OF SOME DISTANT RACE
GROW OLD BUT NEVER DIE
OVERFOWING SULPHUR SEAS
THAT SWEPT THEIR HOMES AWAY
HAVE BECOME THEIR PLAYGROUNDS
IN THE DARK THEIR CHILDREN PLAY
HIDING, HIDING
BRING YOUR FRIEND DOWN TO THE SHOW
HEAR WHAT WE'VE GOT TO SAY
TELL HER NOT TO WORRY
'CAUSE NO ONE CAN SEE TOUR FACE
LOSE YOURSELVES AMONGST THE CROWD
HIDE FROM THE LIGHT OF DAY
TAKE A SPACE, MAKE IT YOUR OWN
LOST WITHOUT A TRACE
HIDING, HIDING
LATE AT NIGHT
ON ANOTHER PLANE
COLOURED LIGHTS
HAD NEVER FELT THE SAME
SO UNREAL
AND WHAT I NEEDED TOO
DID YOU HEAR
WHAT I JUST SAID TO YOU?
COME THE STORM
MY BODY BROUGHT ME DOWN
REALTY
AND THEY ALL WATCHED ME FROWN
COLD THE RAIN
AND COLDER IS THE THOUGHT
NEED TO CHANGE
A LIFE I NEVER SOUGHT
LIVING IS SOMETHING
THAT I NOW FEAR
JUST BEING AROUND
FEELING HOW I FEEL
FROM THE DARK WATER WELL
I AM SINGING
STARS GAVE BIRTH
TO HER BODY
SHE CAME DOWN TO EARTH
WIND CRIED OUT
THROUGH THE RAINFALL
MADE MY WAY TO HER
SO SHE SMILED
AND MADE ME FEEL ALL RIGHT
FOR A WHILE
SUCH A STARRY NIGHT
YEARS WENT BY
WAS OVERCOME BY CHANGE
THINGS TURNED OUT
SO DIFFERENTLY IS STRANGE
HOW I FOUGHT
FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS MINE
SOON YOU'LL SEE
MY IMAGE BURNING BRIGHT
LIVING WAS SOMETHING
THAT I THE FEARED
JUST BEING AROUND
FEELING THE END NEAR
FROM THE DARK WATER WELL
I WAS SINGING
