lyrics

INTRUDERS ON EARTH

A strange night to walk these empty streets
As my eyelids flicker like the movies
In a screening of my dream

A scene where time has no repeat
No cause for alarm in a world asleep
No mourning for the life we froze
What a way to live
Is it time worth travelling?
We couldn’t say
In the open arms of wherever
Let’s lose our way

In the slow motion snow
Anywhere now
Intruders on earth tonight
The first signs of any life with you

We’re taken in like strays
In a timeless paradise
And we’re fed on aimless wonder I
’m cage-less by your side
I feel immortal

In the slow motion snow
Anywhere now
Intruders on earth tonight
The first signs of any life
But when the whole world’s open-eyed
And they watch you
Our hands back on earth are tied
Our life as intruders dies
