lyrics
snow falls on snow
grows slowly deeper, slowly harder to fall upon
and i swear i could flow
across thawed-out pastures and desert valleys
come with me
we'll decorate each day in different ways
and i know you can't stay
but we'll keep the cold at bay in certain ways
please stay
i fell from a leaning tower
trying to prove my innocence
prove i'm innocent of rational thought
cos babe we'll never conform
we were never born
and we'll decorate each day in different ways
and i know you can't stay
but we'll keep the cold at bay in certain ways
please stay
and you know i'd never allow you to die
i couldn't even save myself
from the most decayed old burnt-out hound of hell
so come and tow the line
we'll find the perfect balance
we'll sail out
and behold the perfect pitch
along the mid-atlantic ridge
because the centre's ripe to mine
please most the people most the time
and from the grape that ate the vine
the most benign insipid wine
inside the rubber circuitry
of a robot bride-to-be
amongst the frail elastic wires
the tiniest electrode fires
a sailor drowning in a sea
of long-forgotten memories
of a love we'll never see
grows slowly deeper, slowly harder to fall upon
and i swear i could flow
across thawed-out pastures and desert valleys
come with me
we'll decorate each day in different ways
and i know you can't stay
but we'll keep the cold at bay in certain ways
please stay
i fell from a leaning tower
trying to prove my innocence
prove i'm innocent of rational thought
cos babe we'll never conform
we were never born
and we'll decorate each day in different ways
and i know you can't stay
but we'll keep the cold at bay in certain ways
please stay
and you know i'd never allow you to die
i couldn't even save myself
from the most decayed old burnt-out hound of hell
so come and tow the line
we'll find the perfect balance
we'll sail out
and behold the perfect pitch
along the mid-atlantic ridge
because the centre's ripe to mine
please most the people most the time
and from the grape that ate the vine
the most benign insipid wine
inside the rubber circuitry
of a robot bride-to-be
amongst the frail elastic wires
the tiniest electrode fires
a sailor drowning in a sea
of long-forgotten memories
of a love we'll never see
