Dead Submarines

The boy in the basement who stares at the skylight
The world in the window and wonders if it might be real
A place he can really feel
A nightmare in neon lights faraway faces
People like jigsaws fall into pieces
In pain, hoping to start again

And time, its strangling hands
Were at your command
Paradise oh lost like dead submarines
Drifting in the sea
With the rising tide
I'm calling you
I'm calling you

There's crazies on corners with megaphone mantra
God's in your telephone, won't you please answer his calls?
We wait for the sky to fall
And I saw a blind man, smiling at strangers
Happiest person that I'd seen in ages
It's true, I asked for his point of view

And time, its strangling hands
Were at your command
Paradise oh lost like dead submarines
Drifting in the sea
With the rising tide
I'm calling you
I'm calling you

Ooh
In alien skies, there's a desperate question
A message from earth, the lonliest sentence of prayer
Is anybody out there?
