Amazing Things

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
