Out Of Key

from Walls Fall Down by Nick Powell

/

lyrics

When all the streets are gone
things just carry on
True and round and blue
It will know what to do

Pulling at the wire
Starting all the fires
digging in the sand
I’ve gotta get to heart of something
Nothing, understand?
Nothing to understand
None of it was planned
Digging deep into the sand there’s nothing
Coming down the wire
Lies fanning fires
Head into the sand
Gonna get to the heart of something
Nothing, understand?
None of this was planned
Dust follows dust
Dust follows dust into the
End of something

This whole world gets down upon its knees
Singing: cure me, but if you can’t cure me,
Then catch my disease
A Wide World falling on its knees
Singing out of tune, and out of time
How did it slide so far off key?
This whole world is down upon its knees
singing heal me, but if you can’t heal me,
then have my disease
The Whole world falling on its knees
Singing out of tune, we’re out of time
How did we get so far off key?

When this town is long gone
Some things carry on
Just try not to care
Cos we will not be there
Because we’ll not be there

Pulling at the wire
Staring into fires
digging in the sand
I’ve gotta get to heart of something
Nothing, understand?
Nothing to understand
None of it was planned
Digging deep into the sand there’s nothing
Coming down the wires
Life’s panic buyers
Head into the sand
I’m gonna get to the heart of something
Nothing, understand?
None of this was planned
Dust follows dust
Dust follows dust until the
End of something

This whole world gets down upon its knees
Singing: cure me, but if you can’t cure me,
Then catch my disease
A Wide World falling on its knees
Singing out of tune, and out of time
How did it slide so far off key?

This whole world is down upon its knees
singing heal me, but if you can’t heal me,
then have my disease
The Whole world falling on its knees
Singing out of tune, we’re out of time
How did we slide so far off key?
