Ravers Lyrics
See the sun crawling over the sky
Keep an eye on the surf and the sea and the sand
Don't you know every night is a stand-off with the fucking horizon...
You had a real time of it
Staring off into the light
Hands tied behind your back
Steel chair giving you shivers
You've always had a problem flowing down rivers...
See the rain falling down from the sky
To its death, smashed on the street in despair
Somewhere over there I swear!...
You had a real time of it
Staring off into the light
Stranded on the carousel

I was ringing a bell's neck, looking for a sign
"Three stars means I'm losing you,"
Says The Night to one of her romances
The plane lands and everybody dances, it's fine...
You had a real time of it
Staring off into the light
Hands tied behind your back
Steel chair giving you shivers
You've always had a problem flowing down rivers...
