lyrics

Follow the road that leads down to the sea, Angus, you’ll find the tumbling down
I know it was you who said that’s what I dream of; a place on the outskirts of town
You who placed memory somewhere between the history and the fiction we made
And we’re somewhere between Paris and Berlin pretending we never did care

Hey, there’s a dust-storm heading your way; gonna make such a mess of your plans
And you on the shoreline; your knees in the sand; building castles with uncertain hands
We never knew how the lines would be crossed over and over again
Now we’re somewhere between waving and drowning, and we're tired of just fooling around

I saw a man on the screen with a sign that said
“I’ve seen this movie before and I don’t like how it ends”

The dog days descending; the end of the summer; the flowers no longer so fine
And off in the distance there may be a warning; but everyone misreads the signs
There’s no one to pick up and answer the prayers; the messages never get through
Now we’re somewhere between - blinkered and blind - and we're falling asleep at the wheel

I saw a man on the screen with a sign that said
“I’ve seen this movie before and I don’t like how it ends”
