[Verse 1]

Meet me inside the oak at 5 o'clock

Let me hear you for the night

Talk about your hopes and fears

Each pint of blood they draw

Deep in these satanic mills

Makes you wonder why we go

We can draw diagrams on beer mats

That through our hands' geometries link us inexplicably

Half drunk, I mean it when I declare my love for you

Bawdy jokes to see me through

We can walk in the wild wood

Darkest hearts deep beneath the twisted roots

Fears in here are soft and small

Searching for north sea oil in the grass between your toes

Monday doesn't come round here

[Pre-Chorus]

It's just a job and

It's not who I am

It's not who you are

That is not our lot

So huddle up now

Life's short enough now

To lose too much of it in worrying

On the way to

[Chorus]

Run away, on the way

We break away, on the way

Our constant geometries are printed

With love and fear

We stumble in joy and with exploding hearts

On the way to where we are

[Verse 2]

I'm not much skilled with small talk

I'm not much better lying myself out on the table

Warts and all

I keep my shadows small in the eves

But you make me

Want to talk about my doubts

Like a canary after six pints of special brew

I don't think that it's the drink

I just like you

Honest and kind and true

Just the type I'd like to know

On the way to where we are

[Pre-Chorus]

It's just a job and

It's not who I am

It's not who you are

That is not our lot

So huddle up now

Life's short enough now

To lose too much of it in worrying

On the way to

[Chorus]

Run away, on the way

We break away, on the way

Our constant geometries are printed

With love and fear

We stumble in joy and with exploding hearts

On the way to where we are
