Sirens

Savour their faces, they're etched in your dreams
They will haunt you in slumber, the depths you have seen
They looked right back up at you with the lies in their teeth
There is poverty here and it's bald and obscene

Turn down the soccer they can't hear us having fun
I wouldn't knock her, her face is on every coin
Bulging eyes and the boom of your wristwatch
Face down the bed, waiting for lift-of

Sirens are lullabies
My limbs of driftwood
Islands of rather dies
than stay where no-one else would

Leave it alone it has sunk to the bone
Just be kind let them go to the bottom
Blindfold the blind, till they see paradise
As it shimmers there on the horizon

You can't imagine me, fathomless scrutiny
Love grows too much with this distance
I heard a rumour when I was a school girl
and I have been running ever since

Sirens are lullabies
My limbs of driftwood
Islands of rather dies
than stay where no-one else would
