[Intro]

(Morse code)


[Verse 1]

Sometimes the sun is so strong

That I melt down to juice

Swim in myself in a sticky red pool on the floor

So full of joy I could burst

Into chromatic flames

So beautiful and I know

That I need nothing more


[Verse 2]

Like a bullet from muzzle to marrow

We pass through this life

And from cradle to grave we are lost

And confused and deranged

Bombarded by beauty

Belittled and honored and loved

I hope that we get to do it all over again


[Chorus]

And when the night comes on

All of us go down quiet

Eventually no more

Worries or carеs, nothing is left

But should we wake up warm

Hеld in our mothers' arms

Listening for radio bursts

Static that tells us who we are


[Verse 3]

Are we lonely or not

Is this thing that we've got worth the risk

Do we dare to speak up - wear our true hearts like tasteless old ties

All these infernal ladders to nowhere

Detract from the light

Is it courage I lack, or a sense of direction in life


[Chorus]

For when the night comes on

All of us go down quiet

Eventually no more

Worries or cares, nothing is left

But should we wake up warm

Held in our mothers' womb

Listening for radio bursts

Static that tells us who we are


[Outro]

Then we will smile and fade

Into the break of day

A tunnel of light, that first desperate cry

Something is good just out of sight

The voice in the dark
