Song lyrics

The baby was born,
Nettles and Ferns,
The evening it chokes,
The candle it burns.
This disguise covers
Bitter lies.
Repeating the joke,
The meaning it dies.
Pass me a coat, I'm not a-
'fraid to leave.
I'm letting you know,
I know what you need.
I'll turn you around
This beautiful town.
And then you'll believe it when your eyes then deceive you.

Its easy, dont let it go.
Its easy, dont let it go.
Its easy, dont let it go.
Don't Lose It.

Its getting colder outside
Your rented space.
They shadow box and they
Paper chase.
It never stops,
And we'll never learn,
No hope without dope.
The jobless return,
The bankers have bailed,
The mighty retreat,
The pleasure it fails
At the end of the week.
You take it or leave.
Or what you receive?
To what you receive,
Is eternited leave.

Its easy, dont let it go.
Its easy, dont let it go.
Its easy, dont let it go.
Don't lose it.

Incandescent light at doors,
In adolescent menopause,
In little clicks you got the music stops,
The needle sticks and the penny drops.
The summer's gone before you know,
The muffled drums of relentless flow.
You're looking at stars that give you Vertigo,
The sun's still burning and dust will blow
Honey scars I'll keep you near.
Our blood is gold nothing to fear,
We killed the time and I love you dear.
A kiss of wine we'll disappear.
The last of the last particles,
Divisible invisible.
The last of the last particles,
Divisible invisible.
