dawn clouds fill the sky
i am warm but it’s cold and fresh
the sun comes to meet...
smoke from my cigarette

it’s been the longest night
i am tired but i’m still alive
i feel like i’m falling
up to heaven

i smile at these waking dreams

heads fizzing softly now
later clouds will go flying by
it’s gonna be a nice day
with a clear blue autumn sky

1.She wasn’t even running for the train
She was running to get out of the rain
Now I’m feeling so much… pain
Those bastards have taken my baby away again

I’ll never get to work in time
and the next train isn’t due until… nine
and no I don’t feel fine
at this rate, she will never be mine

br) and it’s a long time
it’s a long long time
and I just do feel so painfully different

chr: Now there are voices everywhere
In my bed and in my head
The only way to shut them up…
is to shut myself up.

2. Waiting in all this perpetual grey
On another systematic day
And drizzle is all you can say
I can feel my soul decay

Time moves so slowly in this place
And I feel so lowly, and my face
Points only to the ground,

br) and it’s a long time
it’s a long long time
and I just do feel so painfully different

chr: Now there are voices everywhere
On the train and in my brain
The only way to shut them up…
is to shut myself up.

3. I’ve been lying all this time
as if she’ll ever be mine
the future’s already been made
I will die alone and afraid

now I wish I’d never started this
a boring life makes a boring song
I wish I’d stayed home
And written crap poems about the weather
