Three PM
Blue as a roadsign
With a bag and some cheap wine
The suns in my eyes
Between
The smoke trails of aircraft
The kite tails and light shafts
There's a language in the sky
There are bones
Living under the viaduct
Sleeping down by the railway line
Making wagers with the day
There's a rumour
Dirty as a chimney stack
Quiet as roadkill
On the northbound carriageway
And who's gonna raise a hand
When all we were taught to do was dance
Who'll be able to stand after this avalanche
Well they sold you
Back your outrage
In a neat little shrink-wrap
And a beautiful face
And you think
That you've found your purpose
While they've been trailing the breadcrumbs
Of a watertight case
So you're shouting
But you're shouting softly
So no-one can hear you
And get the wrong idea
But behind
The closing eye of the tabloids
We will be waiting
And we'll say it clear
Cos who's gonna raise a hand
When all we were taught to do was dance
Who'll be able to stand after this avalanche
Three PM
Blue as a roadsign
With a bag and some cheap wine
The suns in my eyes
Between
The smoke trails of aircraft
The kite tails and light shafts
There's a language in the sky
There's a language in the sky
There's a language in the sky
