[Intro]
We walk into the desert wind along the desert rail
With bent hearts and stitched-on wings
Across the Tamarisk plains, we tell our tale of woe
To those who would hear such things

We are the spirits
We are the spirits
Arrived at the end of the line
We are the spirits
We are the spirits
The line that fell to earth

[Verse 1]
We walk into the desert wind along the desert trail
With bent hearts and stitched-on wings across the Tamarisk Plains

[Chorus]
We are the spirits of the Old No. 9
We dine at the end of the line
We are the spirits of the Old No. 9
The line that fell to earth

[Verse 2]
We look into the blasting sound along the mountain rail
With clicking ticking flickering form across the windswept sands
[Chorus]
We are the spirits of the Old No. 9
We dine at the end of the line
We are the spirits of the Old No. 9
The line that fell
The line that fall

[Refrain]
Where we are now
Where we are now
Where we are now
Stars pulled down

Where we are now
Where we are now
Where we are now
Stars pulled down

[Chorus]
We are the spirits of the Old No. 9
We dine at the end of the line
We are the spirits of the Old No. 9
The line that fell to earth

[Bridge]
Gravity is slipping
The caterwaul cry
Happy as the devil in blue
Gravity is slipping
The caterwaul cry
Happy as the devil in the blue suit
Gravity is slipping
The caterwaul cry
Happy as the devil in blue
Gravity is slipping
The caterwaul cry
Happy as the devil in the blue suit

Here come the devil in the blue suit
(We are the spirits, we are the spirits)
Here come the devil in the blue suit
(We are the spirits, we are the spirits)
Here come the devil (we are the spirits)
Here come the devil (we are the spirits)
Here come the devil
But we are the spirits

[Chorus]
We are the spirits of the Old No. 9
We dine at the end of the line
We are the spirits of the Old No. 9
The line that fell to earth

And we are the spirits of the Old No. 9
We dine at the end of the line
We are the spirits of the Old No. 9
The line that fell
The line that fell
[Refrain]
Where we are now
Where we are now
Where we are now
Stars pulled down

Where we are now
Where we are now
Where we are now
Stars pulled down
