Shipyards Of New Zealand - Remastered Version
Thought one day I'd make my fortune
Like the ancient cavalcades
From the shipyards of New Zealand
Chasing history, I left home
Moving west into the sunset
Became the sunset of our lives
I was factory made and settled
Safe from storm and broken earth
There's so much to do every day
And dreams keep disappearing
We cling to the walls of our heart
Keep us from coming undone
Now danger lurks behind the spreader
And Charlton Heston casts the first stone
User interference birthmark
Say clever, not very wise
Let the lamp lights keep on shining now
While those searchlights in skies, they are turning
We climb to the top of that heap
I wish I could fly
I can't get lost, I can't get confused
Something's misplaced, maybe for good
I can't get lost, I can't get confused
Something's misplaced, maybe for good
I can't get lost, I can't get confused
Something's misplaced, maybe for good
I can't get lost, I can't get confused
Something's misplaced, maybe for good
I can't get lost, and I cannot get confused, yeah
Something's misplaced, maybe for good
And I can't get lost, I can't get confused
Like the ancient cavalcades
From the shipyards of New Zealand
Chasing history, I left home
Moving west into the sunset
Became the sunset of our lives
I was factory made and settled
Safe from storm and broken earth
There's so much to do every day
And dreams keep disappearing
We cling to the walls of our heart
Keep us from coming undone
Now danger lurks behind the spreader
And Charlton Heston casts the first stone
User interference birthmark
Say clever, not very wise
Let the lamp lights keep on shining now
While those searchlights in skies, they are turning
We climb to the top of that heap
I wish I could fly
I can't get lost, I can't get confused
Something's misplaced, maybe for good
I can't get lost, I can't get confused
Something's misplaced, maybe for good
I can't get lost, I can't get confused
Something's misplaced, maybe for good
I can't get lost, I can't get confused
Something's misplaced, maybe for good
I can't get lost, and I cannot get confused, yeah
Something's misplaced, maybe for good
And I can't get lost, I can't get confused
