White clouds cover the whole of the Earth Concorde flies through the skies to the States Lifetimes in memory, flesh being born But this is the age of invisible dawn And the man from the government says show me a sign The mood of the moment says have a good time Through stench and starvation, night never falls There's flies on the skeletons, shapes on the walls And the masters of flattery colour the trees They walk on the oceans, put the town under siege The sing of humanity sleeps in despair Walking out in the morning with his hands in the air There's zealots in anger, divine extremes Emotional half-lives, dispoible dreams Rumours of cease-fire inherit the streets This is the war of the pure and the meek But flowers still open, flowers still close Re-arrnaged molecules, miricle cures And I can still love you, call you my own Till the blooms turn to doubt Till the angels come home These days are overgrown in truth Under the sun that's nothing new As I draw my latest breath Amazing things are done on Earth
