Crocodile skin water, city shadows wait<br />
Put your head into your hands, the ending is so great<br />
Take a ride to sundown, buy a ticket home<br />
Take all the things I've bought you, leave all the rest alone<br />
Marble skins turn human, people fade to gray<br />
Put your head into my hands we'll make them go away<br />
As you're crying softly, you won't ever be disturbed<br />
Red on pink, the sun will sink, have you even heard?<br />
<br />
<br />
And the colors take me down<br />
It's no reason to be sad<br />
And you leave without a sound<br />
It's no reason to be glad<br />
<br />
<br />
Salty tears are wasted, children lie awake<br />
Put your head into my hands, don't let your spirit break<br />
Black smoke from the chimneys, white smoke from the hills<br />
Everything is moving, but we're standing still<br />
<br />
<br />
Celebrations fading, boats upon the waves<br />
Put your head into my hands, trying to be brave<br />
The carnival has packed up, the storm has left us peace<br />
Poppies sleep undamaged, we drive into the east
