Dawn - Slapp Happy
Dawn he's in a postcard of the dawn
Where the knives of light
Have left the dark night tattered torn
The firmamental cars
On the highway of the stars are doing ninety
(for your love) He's in a corner on the right
The sole survivor of the night
And it's you he's thinking of
And you you only think of him
Dropping him a line
'Cos he's got no time to swim
They're closing all the doors to his existential shores
They'll leave him naked and alone
You can't help him now
He's in the waters of the south
Sinking like a stone
Running form the snapping jaws
You knows he ain't got time to pause
There's one last door between him you
Look out babe he'll be coming through
(as soon as you admit that you're the cause)
Gone with a squad of crooked creatures
You saw a film of his escape
But you hardly recognized his features
His seer's sight had lied about the other side
No one was waiting when you arrived
You dared not hesitate
Even so you got there late
Who takes who for one last ride
Running form the snapping jaws
You knows he ain't got time to pause
There's one last door between him and you
Look out babe he'll be coming through
(as soon as you admit that you're the cause)
Dawn he's in a postcard of the dawn
Where the knives of light
Have left the dark night tattered and torn
The firmamental cars
On the highway of the stars are doing ninety
(for your love) He's in a corner on the right
The sole survivor of the night
It's you he's thinking of
