Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We starve, look at one another, short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation
Of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
[Verse 2]
Somewhere inside something, there is a rush of greatness
Who knows what stands in front of our lives?
I fashion my future on films in space
Silence tells me secretly
Everything
Everything
Manchester, England, England
[Bridge]
Manchester, England, England
Eyes, look your last
Across the Atlantic Sea
Arms, take your last embrace
And I'm a genius, genius
And lips, oh, you, the doors
I believe in God
Of breath, sealed with a righteous kiss
And I believe that God believes in Claude
Sealed with a righteous kiss
That's me, that's me
The rest is silence
That's me, that's me
The rest is silence
The rest is silence
[Verse 3]
We starve, look at one another, short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation
Of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
[Verse 4]
Singing our space songs on a spider web sitar
Life is around you and in you
Answer for Timothy Leary, dearie
[Chorus]
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
