There's a hole in the ocean where a whale used to be Tattoos on your elbows there are fingernails around your feet Maybe all the skies are not as empty as they seem So come on and sing it again Close your eyes and count to ten
All the ruthless hurricanes sweeping us so far away Far beyond the borders of this land To a different place where all the mountains have a face Crabs and children rumble in the sand Sing it again, all the women and all the children and all the men
Come on all you people lets go collapsing in the undergrowth Let's replace the cityscapes with buildings of our own Maybe all the buildings are not as empty as they seem So come on and sing it again Close your eyes and count to ten
We'll go back to the coast and dip our toes in the sea We'll leave the leviathans behind And the people in your neighbourhood agree Getting lost is easier than losing your mind Sing it again, all the women and all the children and all the men
