You wake up in the suffocating Arabic darkness
Dragging the river of your very soul
You emerge from troubled dreams with your head held very gently
Thick like clotted blood in a golden bowl
The Church Discography
Who promised you that?
Who's paying for it?
What's waiting out there?
The Church Discography
The soldiers in the village were sleeping in the sun
The White Star Line comes steaming in upon its midnight run
You're standing in the mirror, that reflection is insane
My love is the peace which takes away the pain
The Church Discography
You know that you must fly out, out of this life of nightmares
Whose spirit breath surrounds you in the blackened night
The horses are uneasy, the weapon is untried
You'll have to go on guessing 'til you reach the other side
The Church Discography
Who promised you that?
Who's paying for it?
What's waiting out there?
The Church Discography
The monkeys in the jungle are playing with a gun
The White Star Line comes steaming in upon its midnight run
You're reaching for the light, boy, which the night has neatly slain
My love is the peace which takes away the pain
The Church Discography
Up you go, you're drifting, up you go, you're floating
Over Tunisia, over Spain
Over Germany, over Poland
Over Scandinavia and back again
The Church Discography
Who promised you that?
Who's paying for it?
What's waiting out there?
The Church Discography
The notices and frescoes have faded in the sun
The White Star Line comes steaming in upon its midnight run
You can't believe it's over with no loss or gain
My love is the peace which takes away the pain

According to my calculations
It ought to be around here somewhere
Despite all human limitation
My estimation is it's out there
The Church Discography
And don't get cute with me
It's matching you to me
The Church Discography
Here is the object
Here is the logic
This is the subject
Is that what you wanted?
The Church Discography
Listen to me
I'll do what you want
The Church Discography
Never mind your reputation
Just get in fast and get out faster
What we need is concentration
Or the creation of disaster
The Church Discography
And don't get close to me
It ain't necessary
The Church Discography
This is the limit
This is the finish
This is the minute
The modules diminish
The Church Discography
Listen to me
I'll do what you want
The Church Discography
Here is the object
Here is the logic
This is the subject
Is that what you wanted?
The Church Discography
Postpone all the celebration
Get on quick and get off quicker
Listen for your information
This situation, we must not bicker
The Church Discography
Don't put the blame on me
It's the same for me
The Church Discography
This is the limit
This is the finish
This is the minute
The modules diminish
The Church Discography
Listen to me
I'll do what you want
The Church Discography
Here is the object
Here is the logic
Here is the subject
Is that what you wanted?
The Church Discography
According to my calculations
It ought to be around here somewhere...
