Rain On The Humming Wire

The Panics Rain On The Humming Wire Lyrics
1.Majesty

Who needs advice from cardinals?
Who votes for Governor-Generals?
Who'll offer those fellas amnesty?
Who's been touched by Her Majesty?

Of contradicted history
Confusion by formality
Put into lists and categories
A marriage by authority

To the young eyes
Across the sea
Who live and return to sanctuary

Of defiant tales in stone
In a higher prayer alone
In the brightest chains of gold
In the furthest place from home

Of victory in the high seas
Of doing business with crazies
Of commentators, visionaries
Say who wore what in the A-list

Where there once was a slaughter
Statues of great explorers
A flag engraved in a gold plaque
One quarter Union Jack

To the young eyes
Across the sea
Who live and return to sanctuary

Of defiant tales in stone
In a higher prayer alone
In the brightest chains of gold
In the furthest place from home

Tales in stone, a prayer alone
The brightest chains of gold
A prayer alone
The furthest place from home

Of defiant tales in stone
In a higher prayer alone
In the brightest chains of gold
In the furthest place from home


2.Endless Road

I don't want to let go
I've held all the hands I need to hold
It seems all that I feel
I shared with you in this room was real

This is just a bad dream
Unrecognized in tears
Don't tell me what I don't see
I don't need to look through your fears

You carve an endless road
I've got to find you 'fore the moment goes
You take me down so slow
I should not be living in this house alone
You carve an endless road

Just land into my hands
With all the love you're holding back
I gave all of my days
You walk the path I helped you pave

You leave me in a past scene
With your old cross I bear
Lift me through the old streets
Let them see us walking there

You carve an endless road
I've got to find you 'fore the moment goes
You take me down so slow
I should not be living in this house alone
You carve an endless road


3.Low On Your Supply

Somedays I will find you unaware
On some imaginary plain
Talking to someone who was never there
Working yourself into a state

I miss the one I met
Who disappeared so soon
Who took his soul but stayed in the room
He is still here somewhere
But sometimes he forgets
The right time to make a move

When I could use just a little more
Use just a little more
Maybe just a little more
When I get low on your...

Somedays I will find you in a land
Tracing back though your fading steps
Somedays I will find you so far in there
We didn't know where you were headed next

When I could use just a little more
Use just a little more
Maybe just a little more
When I get low on your
Use just a little more

Maybe just a little more
Just a little to know for sure

And it seems that in my eyes
You're watching a screen from the other side
A noise in the past as soft as it is in mine
I lift the oars, go deep and wide
These feelings should not be made to fight
But where do I go
When you're not mine to control

I need a little more
I could use just a little more
Maybe just a little more
When I get low on your
I could use just a little more
Maybe just a little more
Just a little to know for sure


4.Creatures

He'd cross the street to kick a stone
High above the city glow
And he'd squint just at the sun's last shine
For a thread of ocean light

And it was gold like fire
The future with her arms out wide
Rain on the humming wire
Summer with no end in sight

Far from those creatures in the night
The sun's a river in my bones
I need to feel it inside
Bright as a ghost

In the breath of an empty bed
A weight is pressing on your chest
You had everything you wanted there
But you were restless

For the creatures in the night
The sun's a river in my bones
I need to feel it inside
Bright as a ghost

Tell me
Who's inside this mind
Leaving me to end this?
Who's behind these eyes
Leaving me so restless?

For the creatures in the night
The sun's a river in my bones
I need to feel it inside
Bright as a ghost

Tell me
Who's inside this mind
Leaving me to end this?
Who's behind these eyes
Leaving me so restless?
