Lyrics

The Unshockable

The lines of transport make their way through towns

The lines of transport make their way through towns

At any cost…

Name a price

Digging through towns

Make way, like Moses through the waves

Pick and choose from a folklore

To describe the biggest events

(Did I make it all) Did I make it all... up?

Detritus gathers

Until dirt is the only layer you see

Scratch away, scrape away

Lacerate, keep scratching!

Have we become the unshockable?

Or have we become the saddened?

Activity is absent

Things are looking scarce

The human heart is on trial for a limited spell

A human heart is on offer for a limited spell

Your body was your great strength

How do you feel now there's nothing left?

The moment's gone

For me, you spent too many hours in bed

(Do you think this is) Do you think this is... cruel?

Sniggering clowns

In laughter, we hide behind our hands

Take them away, move them away

Stand up straight, keep turning!

Have we become the unshockable?

Or have we become the saddened?

Activity is absent

Things are looking scarce

Have we become the unshockable?

Or have we become the saddened?

Activity is absent

Things are looking scarce

Conceal those thoughts

That linger on your breath

Keep them hidden

Or they'll catch their death

Oooh, conceal those thoughts

That linger on your breath

Keep them hidden

Or they'll catch their death

The modes of transport forge their way through towns...

The modes of transport forge their way through towns...

Take them away, take them away

Take them away, keep turning

Take them away, move them away

Take them away, keep turning!

Have we become the unshockable?

Or have we become the saddened?

Activity is absent

Things are looking scarce

Have we become the unshockable?

Or have we become the saddened?

Activity is absent

Things are looking scarce
