Earth, sky, sea and rain
Is she coming back again?
Men of straw, snooker hall
Words, that build or destroy
Dirt, dry, bones, sand and stone
Barbed-wire fence cut me down
I'd like to be around
In a spiral staircase
To the higher ground
And I, like a firework, explode
Roman candle lightening lights up the sky
In the cracked streets trampled under foot
Sidestep, sidewalk
I see you stare into the space
Have I got closer now, behind the face?
Oh...tell me...
Cherry, you dance with me?
Turn me around tonight
Up through a spiral staircase
To the higher ground
Slide show of a sea side town
Coca-cola, football radio, radio, radio...
