The Heavy Blinkers - Perfect Tourists Lyrics
My sweet, they knew I’d be losing youBut I thought I could prevent itPolicing my heart is all I can doWe were perfect touristsIn a hopeless momentThere’s no future in itIs it morning there yet?Is she with you right now?I’m not alone myselfI’m not alone myselfBut I have a vision of youMy sweet, it’s sad the options we had wereDesertion or surrenderI remember our talks like a sound collageThere’s a tear in the fuselage of our planeWe’re going down nowWe’re driving down a divided highwayIt’s time we started to stopIt’s time we started to stopWe’re breaking everyone’s heartThere’s a pain dull and namelessI miss what I don’t knowWalking the alleys in anticipationI long to hear your sleepy wordsI long to hear your sleepy wordsLike silence in my earsLike silence in my earsMy sweet, it seems we’re a bit like those dreamsWhere you’re punch-drunk and acceptingI write you this song as I see the first flurryAnd the lines getting blurryBetween memory and imaginationSpeech and distance are aligning against usBut we can hide in the cinemaWe can hide in the cinemaWe’ll be safe in the dark
