This Empty Northern Hemisphere

Lyrics

Smoke it flies from whisky mouths
Vagabonds walk this suitcase town

Summer left us beckoning
The cottonwoods were all worn out

Lyrics continue below...

Night comes fixing on the day
And the universe reigned again
While the wheels roll, it all glows a flickering light

While you were sleeping I was the turning the dials

And I walled up your kingdom with radio wires

And the bells of the choir came in low and rumbling
Oh, you should have heard them

Living here in this city on fire, well I've been fine

Just dancing drunk above the street
Me the ghost of Caroline

And that was me, you know, calling up above
From the steeples in the church yard

Watch the wheels roll to find another place home

While you were sleeping, you bet that I might

Walk this empty northern hemisphere wide
And the kingdom it came, well it all fell down

It all fell to dust

Watch it all falling down to dust

Watch it all falling down to dust

While you were sleeping I was the turning the dials
Walk this empty northern hemisphere wide
