When the night shows   the signals grow on radios   All the strange things   they come and go, as early warnings   Stranded starfish have no place to hide   still waiting for the swollen Easter tide   There's no point in direction we cannot   even choose a side.      I took the old track   the hollow shoulder, across the waters   On the tall cliffs   they were getting older, sons and daughters   The jaded underworld was riding high   Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky   and as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain   was warm and soaked the crowd.      Lord, here comes the flood   We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood   If again the seas are silent   in any still alive   It'll be those who gave their island to survive   Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.      When the flood calls   You have no home, you have no walls   In the thunder crash   You're a thousand minds, within a flash   Don't be afraid to cry at what you see   The actors gone, there's only you and me   And if we break before the dawn, they'll   use up what we used to be.      Lord, here comes the flood   We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood   If again the seas are silent   in any still alive   It'll be those who gave their island to survive   Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.      < Repeat chorus once >
