The Screaming Planet

Sat and watched the freeway for a hundred thousand years
I saw the future
He says, "I haven't seen you
Since the last time you were here"
Somewhere I go
To be alone
To feel at home
On a screaming planet
Breathing out and into the unknown
Into the unknown

If I stay here for a while
Could I slow the spin of the sky?
Could I?

I saw the water wrap him round my worn-out heart
I let it claim me
I let it see me
Like nobody else does
Oh I've been drinking, I'm changing my thinking
Laying in an empty bar
On a screaming planet
Breathing out and telling me I am loved
Telling me I am loved

If I stay here for a while
Could I slow the spin and tell you I
Been running round the world, but I always come back
Been seeing other girls, but I always come back
I've loved and I've learned, but I always come back
I'll tell you I won't, but I always come back
Always come back
Always come back
Always come back
