lyrics

Silver shadows creep
Across the ground
Where sharp-eyed, soft-skinned boys
Drift slowly by the water
We were interrupted by the call
Central control
Your number has come up
Shut down and go to base
Oh no, no

My levels are all wrong
So I’m hooked up and turned on and on and on but

Yeah
Such sweet delay
It stacks up but
I will get out of the woods someday
Oh, yeah
This slow decay
It’s on trust that
I will get out of the woods someday

I lie back in the chair
And stroke the screen
Those dead-air afternoons
And oh, so many boys
Faces disintegrating into snow
Central control
“Your youth has gone to waste
Get out and seize the day”

If I can only make it through the door
Before I fall and hit the floor
Hit, hit it now!

You burn the brightest when the darkness wraps round tight
Tear up the rules, this shit is new, take me tonight
I can’t explain why now when time’s so short
We lock horns, we lock horns
Just hold my hand - it’s almost over


Such sweet delay...
I’ll be out of the woods someday
Yeah, yeah
This slow decay
But I will be out of the woods

Tick-tock
Five o’clock
The dawn’s not far away
I’ll wait here with the light on
