lyrics

Scan the tree lines search the bay
How'd you hit from half a mile away?
You don't see rainbows every day
I see a orangey glow a half a mile away

Ooh, the flames are raging now
Soon, the waves will put them out

You're always smiling
Pretending not to know
how every grain of sand eventually falls below

Ooh, the flames are raging now
Soon, the waves will put them out

We're friends with no-one, we play our violins all the time
addressing scars, the wounds you don't wash with iodine
we're smooth, we're cool, we're paying off our debts
you became The One, but no one has told you yet . . . no one's told us yet

Shade my eyes from the sight,
I'm not disassociating, I'm alright
They offered to bring us too
Should we have gone?
All the sepia-tones are dead and gone

Ooh, the flames are raging now
Soon, the waves will put them out
