Expressway

Like summer's death throes London's arms around me The world ends in West End sirens screaming unseen The river frozen and the lions asleep Up on the Westway watching people as sheep It's a long way away from it all In my corner I sometimes feel nothing at all It's the best way when the snow starts to fall Confetti falling down the drains of your dreams Life in the fast lane never quite what it seems You're full-on baby with your full-on beams On an expressway through the heart of it all In my corner I can walk cannot crawl It's the best way when the snow starts to fall Like summer's death throes London armed surrounds me I'm up EC1 rusted fountains drown me This frozen river and these lions that breathe On an expressway Is this the best way Like summer's death throes London's arms around me I'm up the West End shooting what I can see The river frozen and the lions asleep
