Come close to the eye, that I might only see you

Here from my side of my water of my blue screen blues

There's a path headed out to the bright lights

And a myriad of sways

And no dice for the radio silence

On our pirated waves

I'm a far-and-away-now vagrant

I'm drifted off coast

Settled in to a concrete rhythm

Beating slowly and close

And in the hands of a foreign danger

And in the enemy’s fire

As close as you've come to living

In a long long time

But I dreamed of voices

They were calling out to you

"Come alive, come alive in the fire"

I swear everything's true

Everything is true

Sleep now on the bed that so evades my breath

Don't dream of the days we’re given up

Through the night's unslept

Come and dance by the armoured

soldiers for the menace of peace

Come and stand by the ghetto blasters playing

"fuck tha police"

In a way we're a lot like strangers

And the end of our rope

In a way this lonesome chasm makes us

Holy and close

If there's a fight in the batting cages

For the rest of our time

Come alive, come alive 'cause you never know

When something is right

Avert your eyes, forever my love is true

Avert your eyes if everything we love we lose

Everything is true

(Everything is true)

With everything to lose

(With everything to lose)

Close enough's not giving up

And just enough's no good to us

Hold to doubt or hope for more

But I know we'll never die

I'll never leave you in the gutter

No, you'll never die

I'll never leave you in the gutter

Close enough's not good enough

And just enough's no good to us

Hold to doubt or work for more

So I know you'll never die

I'll never leave you in the gutter

No you'll never die I wanna see you again

No you'll never die I wanna see you again

No, no, no, no I wanna see you again
