Intro

Give me hope! ah, sweet madness!

struggle, volcanoes and iron and sadness!

a dusty place to kiss the ground an

empty place to cry out loud...

and while the rest of us were sleeping

 she sent flowers gently creeping and the

waters slowly seeping through

Let her burn you!

Let her bleach you!

Let her lead you so very far away no-one can reach you!

spread out wild and wander

and may everything you poison come back stronger...

And while the rest of us were sleeping

she sent flowers gently creeping and the waters slowly seeping through

the cracks in the pavement and the cracks in the dam

 so now everything we steal away we know someday she'll take it back again

Interlude

So bring on the cracks in the pavement and the cracks in the dam

So now everything we steal away

we know someday she'll take it back again

and while the rest of us were sleeping

she sent flowers slowly creeping and the waters gently seeping through...
