It was a bright day in my city today
Everything was sinking
Says snow would come on Sunday
The old school would do
And the traffic grew
Upon the Westway

Where I sat watching comets lonesome trails
Shining up above me
The jet fuel, it fell
Down to Earth
Where the money always comes first
And the sirens sing

So give us the day they switch off the machines
'Cause men in yellow jackets
Putting adverts inside my dreams
And all the ladies saw
The whole world gone
Fallen under the spell
Of the distance between us when we comunicate
Still picking up shockwaves
Somewhere far out in space
It depends how you wive
When the heart's on fire
Under the Westway

Give me magic here in the city, the boat
Doing 180
Instead of standing although it's cold
And the flags coming down
The opals sound
Just like a love song
Far away, I feel about you
Paradise not lost it's in you
On the permanent races
I apologize
But I am gonna sing
Hallelujah

Singing out loud
And sing it to you all
Am I lost? Let me see
For the black falls burn
And wash me off the Westway
