Lyrics

It feels in dreams That everything is there for you The city breathes and pulses It's for you electron blue I knew that you could see right through it So this is where I give in to the machine Lift up your voice feel gravity's pull Drown out the siren's ring (or silent dream) Oh... It's all here where I keep it It's all in the submarine It's all a lot less frightening Than you would have had it be But that's the good news my darling It is what it's going to be So sing, sing for the submarine I tried to explain how it all begins How its all destroyed and built again I knew that you could not believe me But now you're here and it's different How the light shines in your eyes In every second or situ It's then that I realised That the world as we know it The High speed train We'll pick it all up and start again It's all here where I keep it It's all in the submarine It's all a lot less frightening Than you would have had it be But that's the good news my darling It is what it's going to be So sing, sing for the submarine The city did not collapse in a shudder The rain it never came At least my confessions made you laugh I know it's a little crazed But these dreams... They seem so real to me It's all here where I keep it It's all in the submarine It's all a lot less frightening Than you would have had it be But that's the good news my darling It is what it's going to be So sing, sing for the submarine So this is where you trust me And this is where it begins It's all a lot less frightening Your tear you let it in Tyrel and his mechanical owl A moth disguised as a leaf... Don't tell me what tomorrow brings Climb into the hidden machine and Sing sing sing sing sing sing Sing sing for the submarine
