(-ch -ch -ch)
(-ch -ch)
(reach-ch-ch reach-ch)
The voices in your head have borrowed something from the night
The bullets in your head have lodged discretely out of sight
The broken sticks have found their way into your covered eyes (ch ch)
The rabbit's throat is open underneath the swollen sky (one hahaha)
The serried ranks of bitter men have turned into the wind (hahaha)
The great machines are on their way, the ships are rolling in
The ravens stand together deep in conversation and (ch ch [?])
A million tiny points of light surround you in the sinking sand
(-ch -ch)
(British, British)
(British)
(Why, why)
Satellites grow weary and begin to dream aloud
The dark machines see clearly for the first time up to now
Just like magpies, we collect a little bit of each (ch ch ch)
And head towards the place that's always slightly out of reach (reach)
(Reach -ch)
Air in a softer key (Climbing...)
Ah, softest bite
Lord don't you mind (British) (Phase) (Refuse to tell)
Your breath used to tell
Your breath used to tell (Your breath used to tell)
Ah, softest bite (Fish swim...)
Ah, softest bite (Brushed and...)
Ah, softest bite (Enchants...)
All skies slip and turn (And turn around)
Satellites grow weary and begin to dream aloud
The dark machines see clearly for the first time up to now
Just like magpies, we collect a little bit of each
And head towards the place that's always slightly out of reach
