lyrics

They’re pulling bodies out of the fire
The stained glass smashed
The steeple a smouldering pyre

We gaze across the rat maze lanes
And the flickering rooftops of the estate

The amber claws a new dawn from the skyline
The dishes and transmitters beam the world’s woes in real time

From here it’s so clear
There’s no trace of a doubt
This place has only one road in
And road out

We walk down to the red clay lake
Firefly ashes pass as we wait for the day to break

This is the film between the takes
This is the text that didn’t make the page
The bits that they throw away

Our dogs lap the water and we realise
We haven’t spoken in days

From here it’s so clear
There’s no trace of a doubt
This place has only one road in
And road out

“It’s the saddest song I’ve ever heard”
Said your boyfriend when we asked
And it was Walkaway by Cast
That’s how I knew it wouldn’t last
