Barely out the womb
Stranger says to you
You’re just our kind
You’re just our type
“You will own your very own mind”
You take a breath
Hold it in
You think of death
It’s always coming
This is not a test
Life is happening
You make your bed
You sleep in it
Shouting cross the room
Searching for the truth
Everything’s a clue when people want a piece of you
Out there in the world
Swimming in the chaos
Floating on the mysteries of where we all end up
This is not a test
Life is happening
You make your bed
You sleep in it
You make your bed
You sleep in it
This is not a test
Never needing life to make sense
This is not a test
Never needing life to make sense
This is not a test
Life keeps happening
From place to place
Life is not a race

Who are your friends?
Are they close to you?
Building islands in your lifetime – tolerating you
Where are your friends?
Do they grow with you?
Sharing foresight in the twilight of long forgotten youth
Who are your friends?
Have they chosen you?
Keeping secrets in the corner of a long forgotten room
Yes, who are your friends?
Are they missing you?
Stepping right back into your life – complimenting you ---
You are your friends
You are your friends
You are your friends
You are your friends
You are your friends
Complimenting you

Every now and then I get excited
Knowing what to tell you – knowing when to listen
Instinct tells me something – TV can’t explain
Wheels get grinded down – machinery is loud
Industry of mouth – plane is swimming through the clouds
All sun, all warm, all light
All sun, all warm, all light
Manmade origin draws a smile the mannequin
Knowing what to tell him – knowing when he makes decisions
Instinct tells me something – TV can’t explain
Wheels get grinded down – machinery is loud
Industry of mouth – bird is swimming through the clouds
All sun, all warm, all light
All sun, all warm, all light
Wide eyed
Like a child
All smiles
Better times
Automatic autocue automating all of you
Automatic autocue automating all of you
Automatic autocue automating all of you
Automatic autocue automating all of you
All sun, all warm, all light
All sun, all warm, all light
All sun, all warm, all light
All sun, all warm, all light
All sun, all warm, all light
All sun, all warm, all light

Leftovers in ditches
Dry oceans slowly moving
Floating car tyres
Bouncing over flat walls
Of tower blocks
Towering high
Deep as the Mariana trenches
Untouched by the plough
The first time a kid from there
Sees the light as he breathes the air
Leftover from the scraps
With water rising
Stones are a floating
Mountains ploughing deserts with their roots
Mussel shells, Plastic pearls, Drawn on canyon walls
When lava fills the mines
And the red dust crawls on Everest
Them glares and the Chinese wall
Slither round aliens and witches
Untouched by the plough
With the last light bulb fed
By the nearest solar flare
(Dropping further away)
