Watching the girl straddle the world
Just like the snake that swallows it's tail
You know that I been where I wasn't seen
Kissing temptation under the veil
I was alone - walking back home
When she reached out and took hold of me
Shook my sense out - said not to doubt
That we were naked - you can never go home
Still the sirens sing a whale song
Covered up by machinery hum
While we're kept here - separated
And banging on our windows
Said we were pent up in an accident
Verging on nowhere - oh, we gonna spread
Spreading it wide - breaking inside
With no past to cling to - to turn back the tide
The the screen fall - 'til the heart stalls
Let your chain out - keep your control
While we're kept here - insatiated
By the needs we've fabricated
Still the sirens sing a whale song
Covered up by machinery hum
While we're kept here - domesticated
And banging on our windows
