The Grey Estates

Darling please, let's get out of here

On a train to who-knows-where

I got a feeling that I can't explain

We have to leave this place, we won't go back again

Getting tired of landscapes, were just floating

Rolling past the grey estates

Oh oh, oh oh

We'll put the fire in your stomach out

Movie tans all across your mouth

Up through the window, the neon sing

It blinks the telegraphs that don't mean a thing

And we crawl on to our destination

Rolling past the grey estates

Oh oh, oh oh

Rushing through a new world

A new world, a new world,

It's just a minute away

So let the needle on the compass swing

Let the iron in your heart's blood ring

Strike up the band as the ship goes down

And if it's loud enough it will erase the sound

Of a hundred thousand sad inventions

Let them rot inside the grey estate

Oh oh - oh oh

Rushing through a new world

A new world, a new world,

It's just a minute away

I'm half-awake and the world is ending

All across the border just a minute away

I'm half-awake and the world is ending

Across the border just a minute, just a minute away
