about

A meditative contemplation of the apocalypse

lyrics

Tarmac

Here we are, facing our extinction
No matter what we do we’re going down
Redeeming our denial with empty talking
Going round in circles 'round and 'round

As my ageing spirit carries the load
Like a silent witness to the end of the road
I keep walking, walking, walking
On the tarmac of this town

Why should I contend for their attention
When all I want to deal in is my love
I wouldn’t be in need of condescension
If they could just stop looking for their gods

But I know why people don’t want to know
And I realise we’ve got to put up our show
I keep dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
On the tarmac it will snow

I can’t avoid this feeling of collapsing
In irradiated soils we shall decay
The burning sun will stain our perfect bodies
Humanity will slowly fade away

But we’ll cry a song of Auld Lang Syne
And we’ll laugh and sing until the end of time
We’ll be dancing, dancing, dancing
On the tarmac you’ll be mine

We’ll dance away the darkness
Dance away the night
Forget about the monsters
Forget about the fight

Laat je raken door de muziek van Blue Dog, en volg zijn weg door vreugde, rouw, onwetendheid en overpeinzingen naar de conclusie dat het de moeite waard is om door te zetten, ondanks onze soms overweldigende neiging naar zelfvernietiging.
