1
Maps on the back of your hands
2
Point to the cross
3
Scratches on walls in a room
4
Draw out your loss
5
Your islands are conquered and you are returned
6
To the throne
7
Martyrs take penance and fill up the mattress
8
With stones
9
Chorus
10
Pull straws with holy men
11
Stain all the atlas pink
12
And let us find a beach
13
Where we can cross our hearts
14
Stand in the wind as the carousels spin
15
Wear out your welcome again
16
Stand in the silence of mountains and
17
Wear out your welcome again
18
Mornings hit hard with an uncontrollable light
19
Piercing the senses that click deep in the night
20
Crouched in a pillow of straw feet on the floor
21
Creeping a path to the mat that holds back the door
22
Chorus
23
Build up great railways that run through the horns of the moon
24
Hold up a city with cast-iron museum walls
25
Explain your machines to the boys feed them with tools
26
Bring out the skill in your skin polish your hair
27
Chorus
28
Stand in the wind as the carousels spin
29
Wear out your welcome again
30
Stand on the silence of mountains and
31
Take your rib down to the sea
32
Stand in the wind as the carousels spin
33
Wear out your welcome again
34
Stand on the silence of mountains and
35
Take your rib down to the sea
