Darkhouse |
| The lighthouse winks across the water |
| Blue-white streamers; |
| a beacon of light |
| Standing empty, whitewashed tower |
| Where progress and man pass like ships in the night |
| We’re watching the right hand |
| Not watching the left hand |
| Soon we’ll be watching the world turn |
| With no hands at all |
| We’re really amazing |
| This trail we are blazing |
| Burning the bridge between our rise and fall… |
| A weathered old man, tending the flame |
| Lit a big fire for the child in me |
| Salty dog in a shoreline castle-- |
| Being replaced by a chip in the sea |
| We’re watching the right hand |
| Not watching the left hand |
| Soon we’ll be watching the world turn |
| With no hands at all |
| We’re really amazing |
| This trail we are blazing |
| Burning the bridge between our rise and fall… |
| We used to dig! |
| lift! |
| heave! |
| Now it has turned to it |
| Programs! |
| computes! |
| But hardly understands… |
| A wave of progress is rising and rising |
| Rising over this figure of our history |
| Washing away years of tradition |
| A life and love buried at sea |
| Set adrift among the neon and fast food |
| Countless forms and manpower cues |
| A castaway on a push button planet |
| Where progress is measured by how much you lose |
| We’re watching the right hand |
| Not watching the left hand |
| Soon we’ll be watching the world turn |
| With no hands at all |
| We’re really amazing |
| This trail we are blazing |
| Burning the bridge between our rise and fall… |
