Spinning Over the Island

Funeral for a Friend

It falls apart 
Clockwork hearts, running out 
Rusted needle in the vein 
We all fall down 

We find our place, in circuitry 
We worship our gods, the TV screens 
We substitute, our lives for another 

It's kill or be killed 
It's our nature 
To give up control 
It's our failure 

Like young lovers planting seeds 
It's anarchy, head down in shame 
Seasons come and seasons go and 
We grow old, never learn from our mistakes 

Around the crown, we all fall down 
Rusted people all in vain, corroding in the rain 
A well-made dream, flog it down, destroyed it for you 
Your time well spent, a living lie that covers everything 

It's kill or be killed 
It's our nature 
To give up control 
It's our failure 

Like young lovers planting seeds 
It's anarchy, head down in shame 
Seasons come and seasons go and 
We grow old, never learn from our mistakes 

Never 

Cross the river, down we go, hold me under 
Hold your breath, and play the part, race towards the finish line 
Cross the river, down we go, hold me under 
Hold your breath, and play the part, race towards the finish line 

Race towards the finish line 
What's mine is yours and yours is mine 

Race towards the finish line 
What's mine is yours and yours is mine 
Race towards the finish line 
What's mine is yours and yours is mine 

Race towards the finish line 

And hope is something you have lost 
The past is holding on and on 
And hope is something you have lost 
The past is holding on and on and on
