Lyrics
0:37I hope you're sitting comfortably
0:40I saved you the best seat in the house
0:43Right up in the front row
0:48The stars have been torn down
0:51The moon is locked away
0:54And the land is banked in frozen snow
1:01You are a forte of nature dear
1:04Your breath curls from your lips
1:06As the trees bend down their branches
1:09And touch you with their fingertips
1:12They're bringing out the dead now
1:19It's easy just to look away
1:28They are bringing out the dead now
1:33It's been a strange strange day
1:56We could navigate out position by the stars
2:00But they've taken out the stars
2:03The stars have all gone
2:06I'm glad you've come along
2:08We could comprehend our
2:10Condition by the moon
2:13But they've ordered the the moon not to shine
2:16Still I 'm glad you've come along
2:18I was worried out of my mind
2:21Cause they keep bringing out the dead now
2:28And it's easy just to look away
2:38They're bringing out the dead
2:42And it's been a long strange day
3:17You can move up a little closer
3:20I will throw a blanket over
3:23We can weigh all the tears in one hand
3:26Against the laughter in the other
3:28We could be hanging around here for centuries
3:31Trying to make sense of this my dear
3:35While the planets try to get organised
3:38Way above the stratosphere
3:41But they keep bringing out the dead now
3:45It's easy if we just walk away
3:56They keep bringing out the dead now
4:02It's been a long long day
I hope you're sitting comfortably I saved you the best seat in the house Right up in the front row The stars have been torn down The moon is locked away And the land is banked in frozen snow You are a forte of nature dear Your breath curls from your lips As the trees bend down their branches And touch you with their fingertips They're bringing out the dead now It's easy just to look away They are bringing out the dead now It's been a strange strange day We could navigate out position by the stars But they've taken out the stars The stars have all gone I'm glad you've come along We could comprehend our Condition by the moon But they've ordered the the moon not to shine Still I 'm glad you've come along I was worried out of my mind Cause they keep bringing out the dead now And it's easy just to look away They're bringing out the dead And it's been a long strange day You can move up a little closer I will throw a blanket over We can weigh all the tears in one hand Against the laughter in the other We could be hanging around here for centuries Trying to make sense of this my dear While the planets try to get organised Way above the stratosphere But they keep bringing out the dead now It's easy if we just walk away They keep bringing out the dead now It's been a long long day
