LYRICS:
We’d go to sleep at night
Into a bed of light,
Free from unrest.
You held your shoulders high,
Let out an ancient cry free from your chest.
I remember paradise,
Up where the angels fly,
Life at the crest.
And we will be there again,
Somewhere towards the end.
No regrets.
The curtains, covers, sheets and veils -
Do their best to hide the trial.
But when you turn to find the road?
You can’t go home. You can’t go home.
Remember, it was paradise,
You took your own advice,
That was it.
You lived inside in your telephone,
A place you could be alone
And champ at the bit.
Now you are fully grown,
You make your feelings known -
Boy, do they stick.
And now you’re just some device
People will look at twice
And soon forget.
You clocked a master on the bus
(The object of some ancient lust).
He showed you many ancient text
And ancient ways to catch your breath.
You long for a stronger life,
Something that’s more precise,
Something ideal.
You mourn for a world that was.
A child in you lives because
It’s something you feel.
Unbearable though it seems
This is the shape of dreams
Bent to a wheel.
And, now they are mobilised,
Cut down and phantasise
Something real.
Paradise,
That was it.
Telephone.
Champ at the bit.
Fully grown.
Boy, do they stick.
And now you’re just some device
People will look at twice
And soon forget.
The curtains, covers, sheets and veils -
Do their best to hide the trial.
But when you turn to find the road,
You can’t go home. You can’t go home.
