Quarantine

clinging animal to the sandy mills

a wave of stings and leaves

wrestle me from poverty

i've seen the light of joylessness

that left the rest of us here

free of sarcasm like a blinding light

there's no travelling without a vision

what it is you are

the torches are all out now

and incredible as it seems

there was a year in envy

before there was a year of greed

i'll be turned out

standing in an ocean

i'll announce it looking under

and all these words flow

andy votion what is it you need

ringing and a ringing

when nobody is home

finally someone answers

a friend of a friend who says oh

for hours kill me sinking whole

and i'm always in the roof of my head

the mouths they are all choking

the mouths they never sleep with me

yet a mouths a terrible sculpture

out lost at sea

i am also fighting promotion

like i used to be

they told me we should crumble indeed

but i would not show them how

you spoke with such authority

i will miss you down in quarantine

well all the saints were sceptics

but they could not get to sleep

you should have been in movies

with a heaven and a hell so deep

they told me we should crumble indeed

but i could not show them how

you spoke with such authority

i will miss you down in quarantine
