lyrics

I want you in your uniform,
Aboard a speeding train,
Dreaming of a new world,
See the dead fish leaping,
Waiting for a sign,
Naked from the waist down.

But we had no need of love,
And love it had no need of us.

The tumble from the womb,
Is such a mighty fall,
We wake up in the slaughterhouse mm-hm,
You ditched me at the brothel,
Drunk on the sea air,
Limp into the sunset baby.

But we had no need of love,
And love it had no need of us.

When we grow tired of certainty,
We make a home of doubt,
And when love's too weak to speak,
We put words into its mouth.

The mist is making fools of us,
Our ship is lost and gone,
Heaven is receding,
I want you in your uniform,
Aboard a speeding train,
Dreaming of a new world.
