The Diving Bell

Come close to the eye, that I might only see you
Here from my side of my water of my blue screen blues
There's a path headed out to the bright lights
And a myriad of sways
And no dice for the radio silence
On our pirated waves

I'm a far-and-away-now vagrant
I'm drifted off coast
Settled in to a concrete rhythm
Beating slowly and close

And in the hands of a foreign danger
And in the enemy’s fire
As close as you've come to living
In a long long time

But I dreamed of voices
They were calling out to you
"Come alive, come alive in the fire"
I swear everything's true

Everything is true

Sleep now on the bed that so evades my breath
Don't dream of the days we’re given up
Through the night's unslept

Come and dance by the armoured soldiers for the menace of peace
Come and stand by the ghetto blasters playing
"fuck tha police"

In a way we're a lot like strangers
And the end of our rope
In a way this lonesome chasm makes us
Holy and close
If there's a fight in the batting cages
For the rest of our time
Come alive, come alive 'cause you never know
When something is right

Avert your eyes, forever my love is true
Avert your eyes if everything we love we lose
Everything is true
(Everything is true)
With everything to lose
(With everything to lose)

Close enough's not giving up
And just enough's no good to us
Hold to doubt or hope for more
But I know we'll never die
I'll never leave you in the gutter
No, you'll never die
I'll never leave you in the gutter

Close enough's not good enough
And just enough's no good to us
Hold to doubt or work for more
So I know you'll never die
I'll never leave you in the gutter
No you'll never die I wanna see you again
No you'll never die I wanna see you again
No, no, no, no I wanna see you again
