lyrics

LYRICS:
On a cold war dusty mornin’
Walking under false storm skies
Lighting the blue torch paper
A natural canvas before my eyes

But in the back of my mind I'm reminded of the pier
Struts eroded by the times
Those supports it once stood so confidently upon
Are eaten by the ever flowing tide

Through crowds I tried to find you
As the panic struck the streets
Through clouds I tried to find you
Oh no oh no
What a bleak outlook that was

Beneath the sleeping automobiles
Where these rusted carcases lie
We've built up a wall of a copper juggernauts
That once guzzled all those fossil fuels

And the war happy man took on more than he could understand
Secret deals slight of hand
Endless stockpiles of nuclear armaments
Is this the greatest western achievement?

Through crowds I tried to find you
As the panic swept the streets
Through crowds I tried to find you
Oh no oh no
What a bleak outlook we shared
