The Only Ones

Through the doorway in my head Voice of morning called I followed where it lead Swore the oath and so was wed To the only ones I traded in my disbelief Stood with multitudes And broke the bread of grief Rode the thermals, swam the reef With the only ones Scarecrows pulling at their stuffing Seeing something where there's nothing Court arise Try to throw it, it ain't sticking Nerves are frying up like chicken Put the wool back over our eyes Great cathedral bell, it rang Draped a jewelled cloth upon the bloodied fang Shut my eyelids tight and sang For the only ones The only ones Scarecrows pulling at their stuffing Seeing something where there's nothing Court arise Try to throw it, it ain't sticking Nerves are frying up like chicken Put the wool back over our eyes Mighty headlands coloured rose Fellow creatures breaking cover to disclose Time's blood is poetry, never prose So say the only ones At the edge of what is not Turn the camera 'round and take a final shot Of home sweet home, yeah, this pale blue dot The only ones The only ones The only ones The only ones The only ones The only ones
