Into the Sun - Mekons

I am the pipe that others play

Sound and silence crumble away

The vessel shattered on the day

When sound and silence crumble away

Oh, paradise bird spirals down

Plucks it’s feathers for a shroud

Black as midnight minus one

Build a pyramid in the sun

I am the pipe that others play

Sound and silence crumble away

The vessel shattered on the day

When sound and silence crumble away

So soft beteen your toes

Beneath this pleasing cobalt dome

Creep and shift on the never-never

Into the edges of forever

I am the pipe that others play

Sound and silence crumble away

The vessel shattered on the day

When sound and silence crumble away

I am the pipe that others play

Sound and silence crumble away

The vessel shattered on the day

When sound and silence crumble away

Put on some armor, the galaxy explodes

Pick up the pointed stick, the galaxy explodes

There’s a world inside each grain of sand

Clogs the gears and fills the water tanks

I am the pipe that others play

Sound and silence crumble away

Put on the night vision goggles, the galaxy explodes

I know which way to go, we know the galaxy explodes

We’re looking inward, blocking out the sun

Whistle down the wind, rattling eardrums

Smoke of the shadows, tunnel through time

The old snake charmer is on the line

Run it up the flagpole, the galaxy explodes

Send up another flare, another scare, the galaxy explodes

I am the pipe that others play

Sound and silence crumble away (The galaxy explodes)

There is the moment when we cease to move

Remain aloof, we have nothing to prove

I am the pipe that others play

Sound and silence crumble away

The vessel shattered on the day

When sound and silence crumble away

I am the pipe that others play

Sound and silence crumble away

The vessel shattered on the day

When sound and silence crumble away
