lyrics

We walked out to the water’s edge and we listened for a sound
we watched the weather rolling in
and the walls came falling down
then the walls came falling down

We turned ourselves to statues
when we have waved our red flags round
and our words were unredactable,
so the statues fell right down
the statues fell right down

we look into each other’s eyes
searching for the light
we had sex but then we couldn’t speak
we just sank into the night
We just sank into the night

It didn’t come from the blue, we knew it couldn’t last
but when it happened it happened incredibly fast
it didn’t come from the blue, we knew it would get dark
but then the circuits tripped and things fell apart
It didn’t come from the blue we knew it couldn’t last
but when the show was over it was over so fast
It didn’t come from the blue we knew it would be loud
but then the trumpets sounded and the walls came down
