lyrics

The steeplechase it moved too slow
There's scales above and fur below
All bets are placed on those who show
An aptitude for where to go

But now we're stuck outside the carnival
Staring at the screen
And all the sleepers wake before they know
The tired empire's dream

Now all the streets we walked so long ago
Won't be there for long
The beacon blasting out in stereo
The tired empire's song

The fields lay bare on holiday
Now fading lights change blue to gray
Inside we while the hours away
All changes come from plans we lay

And though we're lost outside the carnival
We won't be there for long
The beacon screaming out in stereo
The tired empire's song
