Chorus Songtext
von Erasure

Go ahead with your dreamin′
For what it's worth
Or you′ll be stricken bound
Kickin' up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night it may bring

Go ahead with your schemin′
And shop at home
You′ll find treasure
While cookin' up bones
But the knife is sharp
You′d better watch that you don't cut your hands

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep


And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

Go ahead with your dreamin′
For what it's worth
Or you′ll be stricken bound
Kickin' up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night it may bring

Go ahead with your schemin′
And shop at home
You′ll find treasure
While cookin' up bones
But the knife is sharp
You′d better watch that you don't cut your hands

One, two, three
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep


And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

Holy Moses, our hearts are screaming
Souls are lifting, only dreaming
We′ll be waiting, some are praying
For a time when no one's cheating

The sunlight rising over the horizon
Just a distant memory a dawn chorus
Birds singing bells ringing
In our hearts in our minds

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
