Bend your surprise round the human disaster Feed her with thoughts and a tired lullaby Hypnotised steps to the lull of the birdsong With me you'll waltz to the sounds in your head I bought my luck and I bought my time I had my chance and lost a mile Now I won't be long, just time to sigh I had my chance and lost both times These city ruins breed the human disaster She knows she's been drunk if there's dirt in her nails And listens to birdsong to find her way home I bought my luck and I bought my time Won't you lead me now?
