lyrics

What sounds did you hear?
Horses' hooves
Voices

Nothing to do
Nothing to do
You're gonna learn about the force of nature, boy
Who knew life and limb were still becoming all consuming?
The oxygen, the sap, the spit, the opiates
The frugal sons of cautious men have turned to drugs
No pregnant pause to interrupt the drinking cup
We are prone
We are prone

A discharged carriage with evergreen wreaths on its wheels
And pink scallop shells on both sides
Spelling out the name of the sender and the addressee
Bring us to a clearing with blue bells and long grass swaying
A salt grey channel beyond our tongue
We are prone
We are prone

Nothing to do but to tear blades, grass blades longways
For hours and hours and hours and hours
Nothing to do
Tear blades, grass blades longways
For hours and hours
Nothing to do
Tear blades, grass blades longways
For hours and hours and hours
