[Intro]
Bounce off the bottom, window in the water
Bounce off the bottom, window in the water

[Verse 1]
Keeping the back light low
Keeping the one eye closed
Running for shelter back through the hedges
Tipping the balance one by one

[Chorus]
You, with the glimmer in the grass
You, by the river
Oh, it was a long, long way down

[Bridge]
Bounce off the bottom, window in the water
Out in the front yard guarding the roses
Smoke cloud rolling through the old city
Down all the lanes and the arcades, fogging the vision
Samе destination, new decadе
Tracing an endless loop
Looking for the filter, laughing at the video
One nation under the blanket

[Verse 2]
Storing it under the ground
Keeping the last ones out
Running for shelter back through the hedges
Tipping the balance one by one

[Chorus]
You, with the glimmer in the grass
You, by the river
Oh, it was a long, long way down

[Outro]
Yellowing at the edges
Indigo blurring in the distance
Silhouette drawn to the middle
And then you, golden one
