Church - White Star Line lyrics

rate me

You wake up in the suffocating out-of-it (Arabic ?) darkness<br />

Dragging the river of your very soul<br />

You emerge from troubled dreams<br />

With your head held very gently<br />

Think like clotted blood in a golden bone <br />

<br />

Who's promised you that ? Who's paying for it ? What's waiting out there ? <br />

<br />

The soldiers in the village were sleeping in the sun<br />

The White Star Line comes steaming in upon it's midnight run<br />

You're standing in the mirror, that reflection is insane<br />

My love is the peace which takes away the pain <br />

<br />

All of you must fly out, out of this life of nightmares<br />

Whose spirit breath surrounds you, in the blackened night<br />

The horses are uneasy<br />

The weapon is untried<br />

You'll have to go on guessing 'til you reach the other side <br />

<br />

Who's promised you that ?<br />

Who's paying for it ?<br />

What's waiting out there ? <br />

<br />

The monkeys in the jungle are playing with a gun<br />

The White Star Line comes steaming in upon it's midnight run<br />

You're reaching for the lifebuoy which the night has neatly ??slain??<br />

My love is the peace which takes away the pain <br />

<br />

Up you go, you're drifting<br />

Up you go, you're floating<br />

Over Tunisia<br />

Over Spain<br />

Over Germany<br />

Over Poland<br />

Over Scandinavia<br />

Back Again <br />

<br />

Who's promised you that ?<br />

Who's paying for it ?<br />

What's waiting out there ? <br />

<br />

The notices and frescoes have faded in the sun<br />

The White Star Line comes steaming in upon it's midnight run<br />

You can't believe it's over with no loss or gain<br />

My love is the peace which takes away the pain
