Lyrics

They Put the Stars Far Away

They put the stars far away
Far away
They put the stars far away
A railway dreaming of flammable clouds
Bends unconsciously now down my throat
We can get away with that kind of behaviour
But they put the stars far away
Far away
They put the stars far away
After the day with the long kisses
I have a face
It's in a window now I see
A chalky imposition in the dark
I keep it as well as I reckon I should
But it still gets away when they bring the thing back
And I see it
I see it in the light of day
They put the stars far away
Didn't they?
Far away
They put the stars a long way away
After the day when the trees went mute for good
They're good friends, the pylons
Blind as a dollar
They follow one another to stillness
And crackle with toil and success
We command the best
Best, yes
We're allowed to command the best of the metal
But they put the stars far away
You know they did
Far away
They put the stars far away
The first time we screamed
The first time we opened our teeth
I mean fair enough really
What would you do with the stars?
Try and smoke them?
I know I would
I mean you know what we did to the atom
You know, you know what we do to each other
They put the stars far away
Didn't they?
