Oil

(album: Cracker Island - 2023)

Then I put my codes in the machine
But the world I found was made of faulty dreams (Of faulty dreams)
I was on my own there in the psychic silence
I was looking out for some other kite to
Fly out of the doldrums and recall the log
From the early database of your love

Fairy light companions
To the dark maths that catapult
Us into imagined worlds
Seems a mockery remote

Interlocking cluster bombs
Like drum and bass, I thought
Close the wells of poison
Fill them up with love

I was on my own there
I was all alone
I got lost, intangible
But that's the place you reach when
You can't help yourself anymore
And the madness come
You'll be falling into the bass and drum (Bass and drum)

Fairy light companions
To the dark maths that catapult
Us into imagined worlds
Seems a mockery remote

'Cause I got no choice in it
And I'm not so cold
I could look you in the eye
And not recall (And not recall)

Don't think that my heart is a sad affair without you
Individual actions change the world
Fill them up with love
