Dead Submarines

The boy in the basement who stares at the skylight The world in the window and wonders if it might be real A place he can really feel A nightmare in neon lights faraway faces People like jigsaws fall into pieces In pain, hoping to start again And time, its strangling hands Were at your command Paradise oh lost like dead submarines Drifting in the sea With the rising tide I'm calling you I'm calling you There's crazies on corners with megaphone mantra God's in your telephone, won't you please answer his calls? We wait for the sky to fall And I saw a blind man, smiling at strangers Happiest person that I'd seen in ages It's true, I asked for his point of view And time, its strangling hands Were at your command Paradise oh lost like dead submarines Drifting in the sea With the rising tide I'm calling you I'm calling you Ooh In alien skies, there's a desperate question A message from earth, the lonliest sentence of prayer Is anybody out there?
