Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the realm of sinking ferries
Here we are, here we are
There is where you often find me
Here we are, here we are
Down the road, apothecaries
Here we are, here we are
Do the twist around the quay
Here we are, here we are
[Verse 2]
A county of the innocents
Pitching backward in the bog
Ravens at the Rave'n'Go tents
A Christmas Sears catalog
[Verse 3]
Stretched as if from mast to map
There we go, there we go
A line of current wire can't cross
There we go, there we go
Lath and plaster oozing sap
There we go, there we go
Sailors strapped with yards of floss
There we go, there we go
[Verse 4]
A country of dead-slow descendants
Clutching bag full, down the caste
Petrified like wounded penguins
When Dallas says, "You're here at last"
[Verse 5]
Now you dig just what I'm hearing
Here at last
Every day's a sweet refrain
Here at last, here at last
Angels sing and jangle earrings
Here at last, here at last
Lovecoats clatter through the frame
Here at last, here at last
[Outro]
A gospel of the residents
Spin the Bible and kiss yourself
A dwelling for all occupants
Deliverance, our last hotel
