lyrics

I put on my headphones and dial them in
The other side is hiding behind this crackle and hiss
Turn the gain up on the most sensitive of microphones
And you'll hear them

I sweep through the ether listening in
The whispering of voices at random frequencies
Scribble down what they say to me and no-one else
I can hear them
I can hear them

The bandstand where we met
The bench where we first kissed
I jump the frequencies but never hear your voice
Night after night you're never there never there

They left me hear with ashes, just ashes
They left me without you
To listen in to things I shouldn't hear

I am becoming translucent radio waves
I sit on this park bench, invisible
And all around the living dash about their daily goals
Can you see me?

The bandstand where we met
The bench where we first kissed
I jump the frequencies but never hear your voice
Night after night you're never there never there

They left me hear with ashes, just ashes
They left me without you
To listen in to things I shouldn't hear

I didn't think I would like this record but it's so infectious in its ability to change from prog to post rock then to psychedelic and onwards into alternative metal. Such an amazing feat to introduce the saxophone and it sounds so cool, this record is outstanding. Darknight
