Hang up your coat
And look after me
I just awoke
From the longest dream
Above the ones that loved you
Under the ones you hate
You want the world you've got to
Destroy to create
They'll bury then pry you open and lock You in a safe
You want the world you've got to Destroy to create
Destroy to create
Is this my life
On a cruise ship
In the middle of the open sea
Is that you
With the sunburned hands on the beach
Are you still looking out for me
Above the ones that loved you
Under the ones you hate
You want the world you've got to Destroy to create
They'll bury then pry you open and lock You in a safe
You want the world you've got to Destroy to create
Destroy to create
Above the ones that loved you
