lyrics

I'm walkin' around Ghost Islands
Small slices of ground
Surrounded by the Feeler River
Why don't you drown ?

Southward, ruins of Elbow
There are long rows of red factories
Like remains of giant animals
Sleepin' in the breeze
I can see their dusty glass jaws
But their souls flew away
I can feel the ground fallin'
Under my feet
Winds pushing tumbleweeds

Over there, History has ended
But the time goes on
it's early in the morning
When life is rare and small

Northwards, Sanzhi appears
Poisoned junkyard
Full of blue rose yellow & green
Corpses of steel
I'm rubbin' myself against rainbow blisters
Not lookin' for anything
The pale smoke gets me high

Over there, History has ended
But the time goes on
it's early in the morning
When life is rare and small
