There's nothing I can say
To make it all seem real
We've outlived our stay
Let's watch it reel to reel
You let me dig a hole
To bury my head under
Don't tell me of the news, my friend
It's better to just wonder
And there will come a time
When the tapes rewind
What happened to the old bones?
They've been taken by the gust
All we leave
Are sparks beneath our feet
All we see
Are stars when we're complete
And when we sing
It's just a warning call strung up again
