lyrics

Don’t come away
(Artist: Bats on a Swing / Songwriter: Damien Somville)

Don’t come away from this night
There is a star you can afford
Don’t go too far stay ashore
The lucky ones will shine aboard

Your motionless plastic space
Ship through a zillion
Emotions, fantastic places

Dreams only give chocolate keys so don’t push out
Revolving answers and charades
You will never fully understand
Still you can try
Then let oblivion works alone

Some will necessarily need
To lay on a sofa to speak
About the extraordinary
Mess childhood left for ecstasy

Your motionless plastic space
Ship through a zillion
Emotions, fantastic places

Dreams only give chocolate keys so don’t push out
Revolving answers and charades
You will never fully understand
Still you can try
Then let oblivion works alone
