lyrics

The grace is gone
And along with it the goodwill
We've inventoried what's ours
And locked it up

Blue lights flashing pictures quickly
And oh boy did they get you cheaply
You're lonely cause you're never alone

And in lines and rows we head home

I want to be the scenery
The birds the clouds and the trees
I want to be the scenery
The birds, the clouds and the trees

And in lines and rows we head home

There was a pretty blue lake I found
And in this early light I could not see bottom
All around it birds are waking
And warming up their singing voices
Their voices form a warning chorus

And in lines and rows we head home
Back to the beds we made of shit and stone
And oh how safe and sound
For now, for now, for now...
