Here Is Somewhere

Can you feel it in your blood
When the dawn shoots up again
When the dying cries of millions
Break the morning open wide

Can you see it in the cracks
In people's smiles
And in their suffocating kindness
And the slyness that they got so good at hiding

Are you taking it all in
Do you know that its for real
When you press your stolen pennies
To the hand that chokes you stil

Can you break the habit of a lifetime
Cos you sometimes don't know what to think
Or where to go, or what to be like
When you get there

But there is nowhere
Just the witless world of now
And here is somewhere, here is somewhere
Locked inside this sacred womb

Do you hear the ticking clock
Marking time and keeping step
As you sell your sacred labour
To a cause you don't respect

Or can believe in
Or conceive of in way that doesn't
Make you want to burn your bridges
Scratch the itches
Turn the switches off

And there is nowhere
Just the witless world of now
And here is somewhere, here is somewhere
Safe inside this sacred womb
