Shook the trees and took the land 
Thread the keys right through your hand  
Covering our tracks as we're left racing over sand 

Escape into the parallax 
Waiting for the gold collapse
The distance is not far enough for you to understand   

Don't go, don't go to sleep 
Through your hands you thread the key 
Voices that will wake the street 
My hold has turned to sand

A tourist in a photoflash 
People talking back to back 
The distance is not far enough for you to understand

A quarter for a paperback 
Please don't let the words distract 
The distance is not far enough for you to understand
