[Verse 1]

Earth, sky, scenery

Is she coming back again?

Men of straw, snooker hall

Words that build or destroy

Dirt, dry, bone, sand and stone

[Verse 2]

Barbed wire fence cut me down

I'd like to be around

In a spiral staircase

To the higher ground

[Chorus]

And I, like a firework, explode

Roman candle, lightning

Lights up the sky

[Verse 3]

In cracked streets, trample underfoot

Side-step, sidewalk

I see you stare into space

Have I got closer now, behind the face?

[Chorus]

Oh, tell me, Cherry, you dance with me

Turn me around tonight

Up through the spiral staircase

To the higher ground

[Outro]

Slide show, seaside town

Coca-Cola, football, radio, radio, radio, radio, radio, radio
