Lyrics

No One Receiving

[Verse 1]

It will shine and it will shudder

As I guide it with my rudder

On its metal ways

It will cut the night before it

As it leaves the day that saw it

On its metal ways

Nobody passes us in the deep quiet of the dark sky

And, nobody sees us alone out here among the stars

[Chorus]

In these metal ways

In these metal days

In these metal ways

In these metal days

In these metal ways

In these metal days

In these metal ways

In these metal days

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 2]

Through a fault of our designing

We are lost among the windings

Of these metal ways

Back to silence, back to minus

With the purple sky behind us

In these metal ways

Nobody hears us when we're alone in the blue future

No one receiving the radio's splintered waves

[Chorus]

In these metal ways

In these metal days

In these metal ways

In these metal days

In these metal ways

In these metal days

In these metal ways

In these metal days

In these metal ways

In these metal days

In these metal ways...
