Sunset Rubdown - For The Pier (And Dead Shimmering) lyrics

I, I pushed off the pier Infinity ran cold And filled up my ears There's the weapon you hold There's the thing that you hold it to And the thing you hold dear Oh the speed of a year It runs the wood dry And water unclear There's the thing you hold high Then there's the thing that you hold it to And the thing you hold dear I will be an enemy to men seen in the light Do you think it's all right? yes, I think it's all right! it's all right! If you make the waves the sun makes the rays The speed of the light can be trusted to prey To prey on the fools that pushed off your pier The whirling of pools runs clear Da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da-dum So I'll be out till the shimmering dies I said I'll be out till the shimmering dies It's the ringing of the predatory nature of the sky And the ringing sound it makes when it's burning out your eyes It's all right, it is all right! It's the speed of the light It's the speed of a year It's the weapon you hold And the thing you hold dear Oh my dear, oh my dear It's infinity's time to shine out here If you make the waves the sun makes the rays The speed of the light can be trusted to prey To prey on the fools that pushed off your pier The whirling of pools runs clear Da-da-da-da-dum Da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-dum Da-da-dum The rocking of boats and the making of mirrors The whirling of pools running clear Da-da-da-da-da-dum Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh I hear them say, "put the weapon away" It's the thing you know and they're taking it away I know, but I'll find a way I'll find a way to let the dear thing go Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum ba-da-dum If you make the waves the sun makes the rays The speed of the light can be trusted to prey To prey on the fools that pushed off your pier The whirling of pools runs clear Da-da-da-da-dum Da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-dum Da-da-dum The rocking of boats and the making off mirrors The whirling of pools running clear
