The whole place is dark
every light on this side of the town
suddenly it all went down
now we'll be brothers of
the fossil fire of the sun
now we will all be sisters of
the fossil glow of the moon
some must have set em' up
now they'll be working in the cold grey rock
now they'll be working in the hot mill steam
now they'll be working in the concrete
in the sirens and the silence now
all the great setup hearts
all at once start to beat
after tonight if you don't want this to be
a secret out of the past
I will resurrect it
I'll have a good go at it
I'll streak his blood across my beak
dust my feathers with his ashes
feel his ghost breathing down my back
I will try and know whatever I try
I will be gone but not forever
I will try and know whatever I try
I will be gone but not forever
the real truth about it is
no one gets it right
the real truth about is
we're all supposed to try
there ain't no end to the sands I've been trying to cross
the real truth about it is
my kind of life's no better off
if I’ve got the map or if it's lost
we will try but know whatever we try
we will be gone but not forever
come on let's try
know whatever we try
we will be gone but not forever
the real truth about it is
there ain't no end to the desert I'll cross
I've really known it all along
Mama here comes midnight with the dead moon in it's jaws
must be the big star about to fall
Mama here comes midnight with the dead moon in it's jaws
must be the big star about to fall
long dark blues
we'll all go west
the big star is falling
we'll all go west
the big star is falling
through the static and distance
the farewell transmission
