See the sun crawling over the sky
Keep an eye on the surf and the sea and the sand
Don't you know every night is a stand-off with the fucking horizon!

You had a real time of it
Staring off into the light
Hands tied behind your back
Steel chair giving you shivers
You've always had a problem flowing down rivers...

See the rain falling down from the sky to its death
Smashed on the street in despair, somewhere over there I swear!

You had a real time of it
Staring up into the light
Hands tied behind your head...go!

Stranded on the carousel
A cripple from the wreck
I was ringing a bell's neck, looking for a sign

"Three stars means I'm losing you,"
Says The Night to one of her romances
The plane lands and everybody dances, it's fine...

You had a real time of it
Staring off into the light
Hands tied behind your head
Steel chair giving you shivers
You always had a problem flowing down rivers!
You've always had a problem flowing down rivers!
