Penguin Songtext

Penguin Songtext
Saw the light I′d heard so much about
On a motorway heading south
And it came through the night above the trees
And I heard a choir
Each voice was louder than the last
I was on that bus while she hummed a lullaby
Still I couldn't go to sleep
Those distant lights fled into the sky
The whole carriage shook
Still I couldn′t sleep
Don't try to rock me to sleep now
I refuse to be torn from everything in this life
I just learn how to be cold
How to breathe and how to live How to die and be reborn
I was the meat in her sandwich
The sky and the earth a bread
She swallowed me up, poor mother
It had been so long since she'd fed
To be swept up in a current
To leave the land for dead
What more, what more could anybody wish for?
Don′t try to rock me to sleep now
I refuse to be torn from everything in this life
I just learn how to be cold
How to breathe and how to live
How to die and be reborn
On a motorway heading south
And it came through the night above the trees
And I heard a choir
Each voice was louder than the last
I was on that bus while she hummed a lullaby
Still I couldn't go to sleep
Those distant lights fled into the sky
The whole carriage shook
Still I couldn′t sleep
Don't try to rock me to sleep now
I refuse to be torn from everything in this life
I just learn how to be cold
How to breathe and how to live How to die and be reborn
I was the meat in her sandwich
The sky and the earth a bread
She swallowed me up, poor mother
It had been so long since she'd fed
To be swept up in a current
To leave the land for dead
What more, what more could anybody wish for?
Don′t try to rock me to sleep now
I refuse to be torn from everything in this life
I just learn how to be cold
How to breathe and how to live
How to die and be reborn
