lyrics
Meet me on the crescent steps and I'll show you a town
Where people never seem to stray outside the lines
The cataracts that come when you're familiar with a space
Began to form sometime ago behind their eyes
The fear that swirls around you when you're rooted to the spot
It slowly drip-feeds little messages of hate
And as the world flies past you it flows glacial this pace
Until you know just who you are when it's too late
'Cause time waits for no man
No way it can
Meet me on the crescent steps, we'll find there's no way back
But then that might just be a blessing in disguise
Eking out a vagrant's life, we hide ourselves away
In case our young ones rediscover bluer skies
They don't respect your temperament, don't understand it when you say
There's value in the things we leave behind
Always accepting packages and always swapping hers for his
To brighten up the corners of the mind
I count the phoney photographs that hold us all, all to a man
Responsible for always wanting more
Rejection of the hex that summoned these unwanted feelings to your door
We found it before
Where people never seem to stray outside the lines
The cataracts that come when you're familiar with a space
Began to form sometime ago behind their eyes
The fear that swirls around you when you're rooted to the spot
It slowly drip-feeds little messages of hate
And as the world flies past you it flows glacial this pace
Until you know just who you are when it's too late
'Cause time waits for no man
No way it can
Meet me on the crescent steps, we'll find there's no way back
But then that might just be a blessing in disguise
Eking out a vagrant's life, we hide ourselves away
In case our young ones rediscover bluer skies
They don't respect your temperament, don't understand it when you say
There's value in the things we leave behind
Always accepting packages and always swapping hers for his
To brighten up the corners of the mind
I count the phoney photographs that hold us all, all to a man
Responsible for always wanting more
Rejection of the hex that summoned these unwanted feelings to your door
We found it before
