The Grey Estates

Darling please, let's get out of here
 On a train to who knows where
 I've got a feeling that I can't explain
 We had to leave this place, we won't be back again
 Getting tired of landscapes, we're just floating
 Rolling past the grey estates
 What put the fire in his stomach out
 What moved its hands all across your mouth
 Out through the window let the neon sing
 In place of telegraphs that don't mean a thing
 And we crawled off to our destinations
 Rolling past the grey estates
 Rushing through
 A new world, a new world, a new world
 It's just a minute away
 Rushing through
 A new world, a new world, a new world
 It's just a minute away
 So let the needle on the compass swing
 Let the iron in your heart's blood ring
 Strike up the band as the ship goes down
 And if it's loud enough, they will erase the sound
 Of one hundred thousand sad inventions
 Let them rot inside the grey estate
 Rushing through
 A new world, a new world, a new world
 It's just a minute away
 Rushing through
 A new world, a new world, a new world
 It's just a minute away
 I'm half awake and the world is ending
 All across the border just a minute away
 I'm half awake and the world is ending
 Across the border just a minute, just a minute away
