Well here we are then you and me 
Some little joke of chemistry 
With all our sun bleached history 
Fading as the light gets strong and 
We are brave and we are fakes of 
Tortured art and higher stakes 
And winters knocking at the gates 
But the clocks are wrong 

I am the steel, I am the dare 
The angry kid with mud in her hair 
Setting off those warning flares 
Till the sky got light 
And you are the seasons, you are the free fall 
Here's the smell of tarmac, here's the clarion call 
Here's the reasoning behind it all 
Right here tonight 

'Cause I've struggled for directions 
A blank page as far as I can see 
But I'm open to suggestions 
So you tell me 
You tell me
You tell me

The corner cafe got closed down 
A funeral pyre for the wise and the clowns 
A little drunk this time around 
But the feeling's there 
They're drawing out their pocket knives 
Till just the singular survives 
For all the currency it buys 
They don't much care 

'Cause I've struggled for directions
A blank page as far as I can see 
But I'm open to suggestions
So you tell me 
You tell me
You tell me

Now colours blazing through the sky 
With autumn fury in our eyes 
We'll gather every battle cry 
And lay them at their door 
'Cause for all the reasons that they spent 
To turn poetry to self defence 
I guess that what I really meant 
Was that's what it's for 
But you tell me
You tell me
You tell me
