Lyrics

Brazil

Saw a building burning down

In the middle of nowhere

On a sickle moon night

We flew right past that scene

Turn to the flames

That will puncture the sky

People stood and stare

And witness the owner

His head in his hands

And saw the moon

Wired to the sky

Just kept driving

God knows why

Down to the rivers edge

Down to the river

And off the edge

Down to another edge

You and I

Down to the edge again

I saw a man

Standing by a light

In the middle of nowhere

In the middle of the night

I looked right into his eyes

And it was just like looking into myself

Even when I don’t believe

I still believe

I was thinking about Leonard Cohen

And the dungeon and the tower of song

Anyway you see it that man, don’t lie

I have to keep on trying

Trying to cross this great divide

Down to the rivers edge

Down to the river

And off the edge

Down to another edge

You and my love

Down to the edge again

Seems I left my soul in a lay-by

I couldn’t get back there

I couldn’t see a way

I left my soul man, we didn’t see it die

Is this my fate, I can’t decide

Trying to cross the great divide

Down to the rivers edge

Down to the river

And off the edge

Down to another edge

You and my love

Down to the edge again
