"Cubist Town" lyrics

"Cubist Town"

The world was just the world of pollen air
I wandered 'round and 'round the busy square
I turned and floated gently upside down
And one by one the people gathered 'round

The rivers and the bridges turned to blue
The thin edge of the night is creeping through
The orange sun is dying on the line
And slowly melts into a sea of wine

Goodnight, cubist town, goodnight
The day has vanished with the night
The light has vanished with the day
And the bride who passed it quietly away

The table groans, the evening meal's begin
The wedding song of love has just been sung
But there's too much of this, too much for me
I go outside where darkness sets me free

Goodnight, cubist town, goodnight
The day has vanished with the night
The light has vanished with the day
And the bride who passed it quietly away

I thought I saw the house where you were born
A yellow house, the colour of the corn
I thought I saw strange beasts up in the sky
But music filled my mind and they passed by

Goodnight, cubist town, goodnight
The day has vanished with the night
The light has vanished with the day
And the bride who passed it quietly away

But music filled my mind and they passed by

Goodnight, cubist town, goodnight
(The day has vanished with the night)
Goodnight, cubist town, goodnight
(The light has vanished with the day)
Goodnight, cubist town, goodnight
(The day has vanished with the night)
Goodnight, cubist town, goodnight
(The light has vanished with the day)...
