lyrics

Things are always what they seem
Find me a shipwreck
One that's not sunk yet

Show me your heart
Before I wake
Make me speak up
Shake my eggcup, beacon...

Spend one whole year on the phone
Twelve months of listening
The hissing of distances
All for a crack in the clouds
Louder than thunder
Underwhelmed by it
All because our song became
'Hey Hey, let's linger with danger'
'Hey Hey, let's go number with neighbours'
'Hey Hey, oh why don't we pretend...'
