Dark House lyrics

The lighthouse winks across the water
blue white streamers a beacon of light
standing empty, whitewashed tower
where progress and man pass like ships
in the night

we`re watching the right hand
not watching the left hand
sonn we`ll be watching the world turn
with no hands at all
we`re really amazing
this trail we are blazing
burning the bridge between our rise
and fall....

weathered old man, tending the flame
lit a big fire for the child in me
salty dog in a shoreline castle
being replaced by a chip in the sea

- chorus -

we used to dig! lift! heave!
now we has turned to it
programs! computes!
but hardly understands.

a wave of progress is rising
and rising
rising over this figure of our
history
washing away years of tradition
a life and love buried at sea

set adrift among the neon and fast food
countless forms and manpower cues
a castaway on a push button planet
where progress is measured my how
much you lose

- chorus
