lyrics

Nerve ends tingling
Nerve ends
Why does everything seem to go there, go there, go there?

(Look out)
Keep your eyes on the distant horizon
Look out for passers by

Eye of the cat that sees you can give you measure
Hair of the dog that bit you can cure your ills
But day of the following night can take your conversations away
Look out for the silent night

No spark of life just burning petrol
Crushed bodies (petrol for burning)
Crushed (burning)

Heat is a mere by-product of violence.
Energy - the spirit of those you have pushed through pistons
Breath can be effortless when you've been practicing all your life

You can do it in your sleep
You can do it with your mouth shut

Earth slipping underneath
Never supporting
Feet never dancing but firm on the bone

No tread ever said anything only tells others you've travelled on
Mile after mile, yard after yard, inch by inch, life, afterlife
(Ocassionally we bump into each other but seldom do we ever seem to touch)

Ocassionally we bump into each other ...

I could have loved you
But I passed you by without either of us knowing
But I passed you by ...

Free as a bird, free as the wind, fresh as the dew, free as a bird

'Free as a bird' is a myth fed to the land-locked
'New' - a word which ambition sings
No cloud is allowed to cross frontiers unseen
Somebody's mining for the silver lining

No standing still no staying here
(No no no nostalgia)
No standing still
No no no no no no

Earth slipping under never supporting
Feet never dancing firm on the bone

No tread ever said anything only tells others you've travelled on

The only way to keep a jigsaw puzzle ............ Break it up
