Cradle 05:15
When I looked at you Feral and free You were smiling and smiling I couldn’t have asked for more We were high on life We rolled and ran Everything was tinted smooth Everything was tinted warm So take me back on your ship Soft as velvet From the Cradle Mountain To the darkest depths of your love You are a seamstress You are a sorcerer I’m just staring at a wet road in the night Streetlights reflecting up to dark, dark skies I don’t hold a grudge against distance Nor feel resentful of time When you’re not standing with me I have you close at mind Love is a bridge And your voice sees me clear For when I watch and listen You’re all I see and hear So take me back on your ship Soft as velvet From the Cradle Mountain To the darkest depths of your love You are a seamstress You are a sorcerer I’m just staring at a wet road in the night Streetlights reflecting up to dark, dark skies Love is a bridge And your voice sees me clear

Heaven's gonna send a spaceship To take us all away We've been here for quite some time But it was never intended for us to stay So hold your hands up to the sky And wait for the light To strike you right between the eyes In the darkness of the night We are the desert star watchers We are the night sky watchers We are the desert star watchers Stare with us at the beauty Of this ever-changing light When our friends arrive There will be no more question Of fight or take flight The world - it moves so slowly But the end is now in sight Our master says that our money's good So tonight will be the night We are the desert star watchers We are the night sky watchers We are the desert star watchers Do not fear For I'll be here I'll take your hand You'll be safe from harm Just put this on It's made from things That we've stolen From your mother Come with us up on the hill And we'll watch the sun setting for the last time The birds will fly overhead As the sky turns from blue to red We are the desert star watchers We are the night sky watchers

Farrago 05:44
I watched you walk down the shoreline Stumbling like a baby-boychild Contrary to everyone's advice You were swinging a bottle of cheap red wine around your head like some crazy bum You were laughing and crying and falling all over the sand You took one look at us, smiled and then ran in the sea Where the waves overtook you then took you way off to one side Where the rocks were so large but they didn't provide any shelter from the raging tide God knows how you survived But now you're a symbol of how we get by in this life Farrago, every time I look at you I see the pain in your eyes I feel the heat even when you're not standing next to me You think that you can fool us wearing that old disguise Open the cage And fly away You're a confused collection of things you dreamt as a kid A random selection of ideas in a brown paper bag A disastrous collision that you won't be able to walk away from, love It's just a feeling, please tell me I'm wrong, but I think I'm right Don't force yourself to put your life down in writing Or take from the country, to take on the city like you're supposed to I've seen your sad reflection as you fly blind Directly into the sun Pretending you're having fun like all the rest But you'll never fool us Wearing that old disguise just open the cage and fly away
