Clock Opera - The Lost Buoys lyrics

I worshiped at the altar until I could believe In Mauritius and in Malta until they made us leave And so we cross the border with promises of change Dubai, the Cooks, Gibraltar The answer stays the same And if I tried to explain Then you wouldn't understand You know we'd do it again If we ever get the chance Calling out like a beacon, calling out like a buoy At the gates of haven we row Anjouan on to Aruba, sending us to Singapore At the gates of haven we row And now we float away from Those islands we called home Our Oceania havens to flood, to fail, to foam And if I tried to explain Then you wouldn't understand You can bury us in blame But you'll never get the chance Calling out like a beacon, calling out like a buoy At the gates of haven we row Going back to San Marino, going back to Monaco At the gates of haven we row Looking after friends and family I'm looking out for number one We took the risk, we'll take the riches We don't care what you think we've done Where's your reward for being selfless? What's your reward for being slow? We're going back to San Marino We're going back to Monaco
