Slapp Happy - Dawn Lyrics
Dawn, he's in a postcard of the dawn,Where the knives of lighthave left the dark night tattered & torn.The firmamental carson the highway of the starsare doing ninety (for your love) -He's in a corner on the right -the sole survivor of the night -& it's you he thinking of.And you, you only think of him,dropping him a line'cos he's got no time to swim.They're closing all the doorsto his existential shores -they'll leave him ***** & alone -& you can't help him now,he's in the waters of the South -sinking like a stone...Running from the snapping jaws,You know he ain't got timeto pause - there's one last doorbetween him & you - look out babe,he'll be coming through (as soon as you admit that you're the cause).Gone, with a squad of crooked creatures -You saw a film of his escapeBut you hardly recognized his features.His seer's sight had liedabout the other sideno-one was waiting when you arrived.You dared not hesitate -even so, you got there late -Who takes who for one last ride???
