born in a manger
your getting stranger everyday
uncertain chancer
your sending everything astray
your certain danger
your a monsoon and fire all in one
got me on the run

there's a distant light
a forest fire burning everything insight
easy flight
we pick it up in space with survey satellite
survey satellite looking at you
your turning every modern theory on it's head
leaving me for dead

your so demanding
you've got me fumbling for escape
i'm understanding
but I'm affraid it's all too late
to find a meaning
your blowing everything away
from coast to coast
got me much too close

there's a distant light
a forest fire burning everything insight
easy flight
we pick it up in space with survey satellite
survey satellite looking at you
your turning every modern theory on it's head
leaving me for dead

don't worry me or hurry me
blow me far away to the northern lites
abandon me, abandon me
blow me far away, blow me far away to the northern lites
