[Verse 1]
The whole p
lace is dark
Every light
on this side
of the town
Suddenly it
all went down
Now we'll a
ll be brothers
of
The fossil
fire of the su
n
Now we will
all be sister
s of
The fossil
blood of the m
oon
[Verse 2]
Someone mus
t have set 'em
up
Now they'll
be working in
the cold grey
rock
Now they'll
be working in
the hot mill
steam
Now they'll
be working in
the concrete
In the sire
ns and the sil
ences now
All the gre
at set up hear
ts
All at once st
art to beat

[Verse 3]
After tonig
ht if you don'
t want this to
be
A secret ou
t of the past
I will resurre
ct it, I'll ha
ve a good go a
t it
I'll streak
his blood acr
oss my beak
Dust my fea
thers with his
ash
Feel his gh
ost breathing
down my back
[Chorus]
I will try and
know whatever
I try
I will be gone
but not forev
er
I will try and
know whatever
I try
I will be gone
but not forev
er
[Verse 4]
Real truth
about it is
No one gets
it right
Real truth
about it is
We're all s
upposed to try
There ain't
no end to the
sands I've be
en trying to c
ross
The real tr
uth about it i
s
My kind of lif
e's no better
off
If it's got th
e map or if it
's lost
[Chorus]
We will try an
d know whateve
r we try
We will be gon
e but not fore
ver
Come on, lets
try and know w
hatever we try
We will be gon
e but not fore
ver
[Verse 5]
Real truth
about it is
There ain't
no end to the
desert I'll c
ross
I've really
known it all
along
Mama here come
s midnight wit
h the dead moo
n in its jaws
Must be the
big star abou
t to fall
Mama here come
s midnight wit
h the dead moo
n in its jaws
Must be the
big star abou
t to fall
