Lyrics The Tangent

The Tangent

The World We Drive Through

There's a low and distant moonlit plain

Where You And I will walk again,

Looking up, as the light shines through the water to our hearts.

Standing Stones and distant shores

Beckon us to seek out more than what is real,

Discover how to feel, this endless day.

As the city simmers softly,

We're not even there,

We got lost - somewhere

As twilight shifts to semi-dark,

There's traffic caught round East End Park

The journey home with life's catalogue of groans

Is going on - all night

But the fish still swim around those stones

In their eternal home in the minds of those,

Who never could suppose that they weren't real

Let me push you in the picture!

We can swim with the pyramids and stars,

They're right there in the world that we drive through

And if I find a way, to get there some day

I'll let you know

And I think it's strange, it seems so real,

Strange, the way I feel I know this!

Strange, the more we grow, the more our minds will close

So we miss so much of what we were always searching.

These two halves of the problem

Are joined like the sides of a coin

We feel them, we see them, but do nothing

On the Flyover it's hard to blend,

Waterfalls that never end into this world,

It's as though we'd never heard those songs at all

And each morning at a given time,

So many sign that dotted line that leads them where

They seems to waste their days and thoughts

I want to leap into the oceans

Swim with the pyramids and stars

They're right there in the world that we drive through

and if i find a way, to get there some day

I'll let you know

It's there in the world that we drive through

It's there when we look at the screen

It's not in our imagination

Not part of some wild crazy dream

It's all there!!!
