Mountains and the Sea

Once we were very hard to see Over the hills and through the swamp Waiting until the moment came Knowing we'd never be the same Mothers they told us how to be Fathers they worshipped through the pain Shaken, we wandered through the sun Come away with me, we'll choose between the mountains and the sea West to the towers and the trees The car dealerships and city dumps The gangs of the palest warriors Guided by ignorance and fear Changing our faces and our names Snow boots and very furry heads Lost taking buses, taking trains Come away with me, we'll choose between the mountains and the sea The world is spinning round The stink, the sight, the sound You're gonna get through it The snow is falling down It slowly paints the city blue. Once we were very hard to see Over the hills and through the swamp Waiting until your moment came Knowing you'd never be the same Down through the magic, you have come To light tiny fires in your brain Lost taking buses, taking trains Come away with me, we'll choose between the mountains and the sea
