lyrics

barely standing by the north sea my ancient friends are all waking up from the waves from the sand from the graves and their hands reach up.
my heart is racing to some finish line far off somewhere and i follow cause i hope to see you there where it goes where it pulls la di da la la.
la la la la la la la la la la la la and i slip back
la la la la la la la la la la la la and i slip back to those secret stairs dusty quilt shaggy rug lord who built this house
stand not far from me for i'm troubled fear my sheep have strayed oh no i slip back years into small muddy shoes to see
those school busses in the woods one of them right one flipped upside down they're side by side but the kids are all grown up now
oh god there is no natural disaster to explain whats happened
i just counted the stars there were four of them of maybe there were five does a tea kettle make a kitchen keeping that in mind
oh god there was no natural disaster to explain whats happened here
