The Grey Estates Darling please, let's get out of here On a train to who-knows-where I got a feeling that I can't explain We have to leave this place, we won't go back again Getting tired of landscapes, were just floating Rolling past the grey estates Oh oh, oh oh We'll put the fire in your stomach out Movie tans all across your mouth Up through the window, the neon sing It blinks the telegraphs that don't mean a thing And we crawl on to our destination Rolling past the grey estates Oh oh, oh oh Rushing through a new world A new world, a new world, It's just a minute away So let the needle on the compass swing Let the iron in your heart's blood ring Strike up the band as the ship goes down And if it's loud enough it will erase the sound Of a hundred thousand sad inventions Let them rot inside the grey estate Oh oh — oh oh Rushing through a new world A new world, a new world, It's just a minute away I'm half-awake and the world is ending All across the border just a minute away I'm half-awake and the world is ending Across the border just a minute, just a minute away
