Prove It

(album: Marquee Moon - 1977)

The docks, the clocks
A whisper woke him up
The smell of water would resume
The cave, the waves
Of light, the unreal night
That flat curving of a room

Prove it
Just the facts
The confidential

This case, this case, this case that I
I've been working on so long, so long

First you creep, then you leap
Up about a hundred feet
You're in so deep
That you could write a book
Chirp, chirp
The birds
They're giving you the words
The world is just a feeling you undertook

Prove it
Just the facts
The confidential

This case, this case, this case that I
I've been working on so long, so long

Now the rose
It slows
You in such colorless clothes
Fantastic! You lose your sense of human
Project
Protect
It's warm and it's calm and it's perfect
It's too, too, too
To put a finger on

Prove it
Just the facts
The confidential

This case, this case, this case that I
I've been working on so long, so long

This case is closed
