The lights go out over Jericho beach
And my eyes can't store the memory
The black of my space drifts away
Into someone else's galaxy
I make my choice and the path of choice
Leads into role behaviour
I sell my dreams for the promise of peace
As I know that you'll arrange for me

place to stay and sometimes be awake
place to stay and sometimes be awake

I'm down in the tunnel, down in the tunnel,
The tunnel is all I memorize
hollow [bad word] in a droned-out monologue
Waiting to be filled with lies
I am what I could lay aside
From the urge to recreate myself
I'm thirty years of age and still
I can't find behind the wall of ice

place to stay and sometimes be awake
place to stay and sometimes be awake

Stay away, stay away
You might get hurt, you might get lost like me
Stay away, stay away
You might get hurt, you might get lost like me
Don't try to save me
Release the diving bell
Transfer my head above the water
Count me in and treat me well

I discard the doubt that it's out of date
To prolong my breech of gravity
I'm driven along by the gospel
Orbiting a world that seems too small for me
I know that you know that I know
While my faith could move Himalayas
My will locates in a meaningless phrase
In a self-admiring mimicry

place to stay
And sometimes be awake
place to stay
And sometimes be awake
place to stay
