Legendary Pink Dots - New Tomorrow

Silent as the final hour heralding a quake,
We cut the wire, we slipped the guard,
Sprayed "LOVE" across the barricades.
As searchlights swooped and froze and failed
To isolate a trace
Of life outside the gates of New Tomorrow.

The penalty for deviation's clear to those with ears and eyes.
We stretch our claws behind closed doors.
We always have our alibis.
Outside we smile with lips zipped, eyes fixed forward.
We never criticize
The pure and guiding Light of new Tomorrow.

It's a bright new day and the wise owl says
'Wake up and blow those clouds away!
We'll work to build a future. We'll dig dig dig...
Brighter now! Brighter now! Brighter now! Brighter now!

But though they burned the history books,
They cannot kill the ghost
That cruises Blind Man's Boulevard and plants a rose
Who flings his seeds of Breakdown Bridge
And sees a legend grow
Of life beyond the throes of New Tomorrow.

And we have watched the sun roll down
The mountain to a frozen lake.
We have heard our laughs go on forever
Deep inside a crystal cave.
We told them as they plunged the needle,
Pledging our escape
From the all-embracing arms of New Tomorrow.

New Tomorrow! New Tomorrow!
We shall see our kingdom come!
