Brand New Colony

I'll be the grapes fermented, bottled and served

With the table set, in my finest suit

Like a perfect gentleman

I'll be the fire escape that's bolted to the ancient brick

Where you will sit and contemplate your day

I'll be the water wings that save you

If you start drowning in an open tab

When your judgement's on the brink

I'll be the phonograph that plays your favorite albums back

As you're lying there, drifting off to sleep (Drifting off to sleep)

I'll be the platform shoes, undo what heredity's done to you

You won't have to strain to look into my eyes

I'll be your winter coat, buttoned and zipped straight to the throat

With the collar up so you won't catch a cold

I want to take you far from the cynics in this town

And kiss you on the mouth

We'll cut our bodies free from the tethers of this scene

Start a brand new colony

Where everything will change

We'll give ourselves new names

Identities erased

The sun will heat the grounds

Under our bare feet

In this brand new colony (This brand new colony)

Everything will change

Ooh, ooh

Everything will change

Ooh, ooh

Everything will change

Ooh, ooh
