Erasure – Chorus Lyric

Go ahead with your dreaming for what it's worth
or you'll be stricken bound kicking up dirt
for when it's dark you never know what the night it may bring
go ahead with your scheming and shop at home
you'll find treasure while cooking 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 dreaming for what it's worth
or you'll be stricken bound kicking up dirt
for when it's dark you never know what the night it may bring
go ahead with your scheming and shop at home
you'll find treasure while cooking 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

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 the 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
