You wake up in the suffocating out-of-it (Arabic ?) darkness   Dragging the river of your very soul   You emerge from troubled dreams   With your head held very gently   Think like clotted blood in a golden bone       Who's promised you that ? Who's paying for it ? What's waiting out there ?       The soldiers in the village were sleeping in the sun   The White Star Line comes steaming in upon it's midnight run   You're standing in the mirror, that reflection is insane   My love is the peace which takes away the pain       All of you must fly out, out of this life of nightmares   Whose spirit breath surrounds you, in the blackened night   The horses are uneasy   The weapon is untried   You'll have to go on guessing 'til you reach the other side       Who's promised you that ?   Who's paying for it ?   What's waiting out there ?       The monkeys in the jungle are playing with a gun   The White Star Line comes steaming in upon it's midnight run   You're reaching for the lifebuoy which the night has neatly ??slain??   My love is the peace which takes away the pain       Up you go, you're drifting   Up you go, you're floating   Over Tunisia   Over Spain   Over Germany   Over Poland   Over Scandinavia   Back Again       Who's promised you that ?   Who's paying for it ?   What's waiting out there ?       The notices and frescoes have faded in the sun   The White Star Line comes steaming in upon it's midnight run   You can't believe it's over with no loss or gain   My love is the peace which takes away the pain
