"23 Years Too Late (24 Years Later Edit)" lyrics

20-day perch selected, we snail through streets of smoke
Tilo and Hardcore, Massive Attack and transfer prints
Fresh from The States with extra fear
Each suit tailored for silhouette promise
23 years late...

23 years too late
Chisel jumping, laid-back pastry
Naked punks and stone-hard pagans
Sonic paramedics weep
Harness short delays
Fuelled by Finnish rude familiars
Lead the screw-top revolutionaries
In the land of hats

Smith & Wright shoot in from ballistic Berlin
Fuelled by the Finnish Rude-boy Engineering Front
In plum-black knit love, they officiate
Head locked in gridlock, oozing through Flanders
White kicker magic plants poppies of remembrance
Popeye remembers a cycloptic monster
23 years late, 23 years late...

23 years too late
Chisel jumping, laid-back pastry
Naked punks and stone-hard pagans
Sonic paramedics weep
Harness short delays
Fuelled by Finnish rude familiars
Lead the screw-top revolutionaries
In the land of hats

Totally Oscared, the Netherlands are un-tethered
Rhizomic gastropods interweave slender tails
Grey hairs genuflect as perforated anarchists
Lead the Screw-top Revolution
23 years late...

23 years too late
Chisel jumping, laid-back pastry
Naked punks and stone-hard pagans
Sonic paramedics weep
Harness short delays
Fuelled by Finnish rude familiars
Lead the screw-top revolutionaries
In the land of hats
Airbrush camouflage
Cloaked by night, we slip the border
Collaborative pacts, the ferry spurned, we hit the ramps
Chaos junctions crash
Upon a crowd of lost construction
Russian hotel check-in kitchen
Expectations, black-knit love

23 years late...
