It's like a heartbeat of endless little silver atoms
If it's smashed, it's worth everything it was before
So you can start on me like it was my own intention
Did you crash? Then there's really nothing I can do

And we're lost but I can barely chart the territory
And we'll cross all the branches of your family tree
If you look, you can just about make out my answer
But it’s late ... fast asleep

On the factory tours in the streets at night there's a deadly hush
You can see the town from the mountainside, it's not on too far
But the breaking point is so long ago that I can't recall
And with creaking joints we climb out of here from the furthest fault

It's there but you'll never get a rise from me, no
Here, you're too drunk and itching for a fight
But if it's your only way of making conversation
I can live without ever having to find out

When the dancing halls and the hospitals have a safety lid
And it's time to file your whole life long then just light a fire
You can watch it burn but my advice is to turn and run
Just feel the flames at the back of you as you interview

When the dancing halls and the hospitals have a safety lid
And it's time to file your whole life long just light a fire
You can watch it burn, but my advice is to turn and run
Just feel the flames at the back of you as you interview
