Trade Heroes - Phosphene II Lyrics



Trade Heroes - Phosphene II Lyrics




The rain had quit and turned to mist
By half past ten
And the working men
Filled the streets

The porters smoked and traded jokes
While the cabbies stopped
By the noodle shop
Changing shifts

Twilight sky
The glimmer of a broken TV-screen
Bloodshot eyes
Watching figures drift from scene to scene

Some obscene
Yet pristine
Unforeseen
Just like a dream
A slipstream
Phosphene

Midnight came and midnight went
Without a chime
And the march of time
Had no end

So words and thoughts and actions were
Facsimiles
An eternity
On repeat

Twilight sky
The glimmer of a broken TV-screen
Bloodshot eyes
Watching figures drift from scene to scene

Some obscene
Yet pristine
Unforeseen
Just like a dream
A slipstream
Phosphene

The heat, it clung to windows
Like sickness to a beast
As the suffocating masses
Were dreaming of release

There's no direction left to go
Cried the beggar in his sleep
But no one was listening
For wisdom when it was cheap

Past the sky
Heaven's just another broken screen
Loaded die
Fate supplies a punchline to the scene

Some obscene
Yet pristine
And everything
Is like a dream
A slipstream
Phosphene
