lyrics

THROUGH THE RUBBLE

Rummage through the rubble
Cautious not to burst the bubble
They're hiding the treasure, of that I am sure

Wide-eyed little people playing tricks
Riding on horses made of sticks
Such a pleasure, hate to be the bore

Call to go inside now at once
It's safer there, it's safer there

Call to go inside now at once
It's safer there, it's safer there

From the unsorted debris I claim my own
Brand new mane for the dearest horses

Shining artifacts of steel worth a pence or two
An apt sacrifice for the higher forces

To see past the guile
In a world so hopelessly vile
Is quite an endeavour, keep on locking the door

Laughter of simpletons
Luckily still lingers on
Forever and ever, they don't ask for more

From the unsorted debris I claim my own
Another nail through the neighbours head

Rusty shards of metal plates worth a pence or two
Fortification for the windows of my shed

Keen, wide-eyed little ones
Shooting at each other with make-shift guns
There'll be trouble, of that I am sure

Just like men of age
Full of just rage
Have to burst the bubble, hate to be the bore

Call to go inside now at once
It's safer there, but not for long

Call to come rush outside at once
We need you here, we need you here
