As Far As I Can See - Tim Booth

I saw you standing there

Mono brow, long black hair

Dance like Frida Kahlo

Your dance was so alone, so alone

When you shook

Your hips

The fire climbed up your spine

And spread into your hair

For as far as I can see

We were carved from the same tree

Two lonely refugees

Trying hard just to get home

One husband and one wife

A place to hang one’s life

Two kids to help us grow

In space we’re not alone

Four walls one lid one home

A box to call our own

Some stuff to fill the place

Five bins to remove the waste

For as far as I can see

We were carved from the same tree

Two lonely refugees

Trying hard just to get home

For as far as I can tell

We were drawn from the same well

The same visions the same dreams

Hoping for ecstasy

Set a mattress on the floor

Put Chubb locks on the doors

Velvet curtains dimmer lights

Wooden floors and walls off-white

Log on the fire paintings on the walls

Prints of stars and waterfalls

Brand new set of global knives

Photos of friends and family life

For as far as I can see

We were carved from the same tree

Two lonely refugees

Trying hard just to get home

For as far as I can tell

We were rung from the same bell

Mix of minor major chords

Full of hope and human flaws

Your dance was so alone, so alone

And when you shook

Your hips

The fire climbed up your spine

And spread into your hair

The fire climbed up your spine

And spread into your hair

The fire climbed up your spine

And spread into your hair
