[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
Go ahead with your dreamin'
For what it's worth
Or you'll be stricken bound
Kickin' up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night it may bring

[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
Go ahead with your schemin'
And shop at home
You'll find treasure
While cookin' up bones
But the knife is sharp
You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell]
(One, two, three)

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
[Verse 3: Andy Bell]
Holy Moses our hearts are screaming
Souls are lifting only dreaming
We'll be waiting some are praying
For a time when no one's cheatin'

[Bridge: Andy Bell]
The sunlight rising over the horizon
Just a distant memory the dawn chorus (Dawn chorus)
Birds singing bells ringing
In our hearts in our minds...

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
