The gold is gone, darlin / Reason is losing her throne, and this I know / The gold is gone, darlin / The prophet has never been wrong, and this I know / I must believe in someone / We raised the chalice gracefully / And gave ourselves unto the street / That weaves its way beneath the feet of the new king / I must believe in something / I nursed you back from skin and bone / And made this deathly orchid grow / Now we're witnessing the fall of Rome from the living room / You wouldn't believe the view / You said this wall's gonna hold and the human race is OK / It was the beast of the sea that confessed to me / Yeah, you said this wall's gonna hold and the human race is OK / We took a stitch from the royal tapestry / Keep clipping your wings you won't fly away / Keep on clipping your wings until the gold is gone

This game ain't playing out the way it used to be / I'll be the banker, you can sweep the floor / No prize for guessing we have reached capacity / In this rowboat ride through our tidy town / Hope that we survive / Broken sunlight / Nothing looks right with broken sunlight / Broken sunlight, eternal twilight / This grain ain't growing quite the way it used to be / You be the baker, I will own the store / You know I'm looking out for your security / When the air raid strikes on this tidy town / When we all start running don't forget to be polite / Broken sunlight / Nothing looks right with broken sunlight / Broken sunlight, eternal twilight / We'll be dancing all night, dancing till the police arrive / Ah, where's my community? / Broken sunlight, broken sunlight / Nothing looks right

Now I understand, with this show of hands, there are no lifeboats below to save you / Pass the hat around, faces facing down / We can't raise you or raise a sweet penny now / Now I've drawn the blinds on these turbulent times / We'll rest easy on our pillows of apathy / But I'll stand by the burning mountainside with an open mind and a bow tie / Miles and miles from land, now I understand the ghosts capsized your boat, made you a sunken man / This was not the plan, but now I understand the seams had split before the dream even began / But I'll stand by the burning mountainside with an open mind and a soaking bucket of pride

Soon you will see that underneath the scattered lights, the satellites and dreams / The world ain't what it seems / It's only rows of dominoes / This one century that man and beast mythologised with butterflies and pain / It got left in the rain / How could a million stars just rust away? Stand when you're strong enough, then summon the albatross over the snow / And be not afraid of the great city gate that defeats and releases your soul / But hey, you must believe / That underneath the undertow we never understood / Most people are good / And you know they would show if they could / Not line up in a row like dominoes / We arrive and then we go

Hunting for a safe trail, sleeping where we stand / Somehow we have gone and starved ourselves of sentinels again / But who says where the dream ends and day starts? We've nothing in common but this broken compass / I'll sleep where I stand / I saw the leaves falling back to their branches / All of the leaves falling back to their branches / Under the house, end of the street / The roots they run deep where the secrets stay / Under the house, end of the street / The roots they run deep where we once played / Hey, where we once played / And the leaves float away / They float away, hey

Outrun the coming evening and piggyback the sun, before it's swallowed / Drag it gently, or kicking or screaming, into the hearth of your home
