lyrics

Moat Hill

As I sat upon the hill, vodka, moonlight, pills
Something heats the air, my human body isn't there
And in the sky I see, a hundred hopeful dreams
Can you believe in human folly? No
Where does the evening go? I wake up in blind confusion

And blind Ophelia weeps for all her bankrupt dreams
A place to hide her body from the fishes in the stream
That nibble at her feet, and saturate her dreams
Can you believe in human folly? No
Where does the evening go? I wake up in blind confusion

Wasn't there a thing that you nearly said to me?
Wasn't there a thing, wasn't there a thing
That you thought but didn't sing?
When you passed out on the Moat Hill

And sitting on my arse, seeing stars through the grass
Some things are for free if you have the guts to ask
Tunnels go from here, I wipe away a tear
And take my chances, don't remember, no
Where does the evening go? I wake up in blind confusion

I need your loving eyes, your loving eyes to hold me
You wore a bad disguise, a bad disguise today
As I realise your barricades are falling
It was a bad disguise, a bad disguise today
