about

Music originally written by Newsome c. 1997. Words written by Newsome and Milner c.1997 and 2017.

lyrics

Will anybody question or recognise?
My shadow puppet skull
Bleeding in my hands
And our skin it is wrinkled
Hanging off its bones
All these signs are deliverance
For my eyes need the lies

That come from great pity
That come in the night
When the city sleeps coldly
And the rain finally arrives

Here I stand on the tropic
Waist deep in the mud of our foul love

Now if the truth is sacrosanct
I believe it can't harm
To avoid its white light a while
And breathe the stale air
Of a place called memory
Another named regret
But I guess we've said all this before
And my eyes have found the lies

That come from great pity
That come in the night
When the city sleeps coldly
And the rain finally arrives

Here I stand on the tropic
Waist deep in the mud of our foul love
Yeah here I stand on the tropic
My hand raised and I'm rolling toward the sun
