Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Sept. 10, 2013]

City showers test your powers
Make you feel heartless
Coming soon inside your room
Inside your darkness

It's in the way that you start to sway
You look so blameless
Follow you down to your blessed ground
And the sea is changeless

The ocean rose
And seabirds scream
Someone calls you on
Outside the dream

It's like the very first time you swallowed the line
Hook and sinker
A strange kettle of fish, oh what a dish
Oh what a thinker

But she's made of iron and there's no use trying
To scratch that skin
So you put on a mask and have a good laugh
Before you get in

The traffic crawls
The planets stall
Someone calls you on
Outside the door

A certain hold makes you stop, you look at the clock
You look at the meter
Rejected revenge, you decide on an end
Where the taste is much sweeter

Is there nothing you can do, no more time to come through
To bring it all closer
So you go to that town and you ask all around
But nobody knows her

Her face is blank
The eyes are wrong
Someone calls you on
Outside this song

Salty showers test your powers
Make you feel heartless
Coming soon inside your room
Inside your darkness

The version on Artifacts has these additional lyrics:

It's in the way you start to sway
You look so blameless
Ah, follow you down to your blessed ground
And the sea is changeless

It's like the very first time you swallow her line
Hook and sinker
A strange kettle of fish....
