lyrics

If I ever learn to love you, if I ever break a surface wave,
I'll begin a life both pained and true, if I could deign to be with you,
If I deign to be with you, If I Ever spread the love you save,
When you tell me I should be somewhere then I am getting over there;
I'm riding the wave. Riding the wave.
Surfing through tunnel-drills and lathes.
The flag has been flown. Its fabric is blown.
Out it waves, tattered shreds for knaves.

What is the discoloration of the color bleeding in the wind?
I’m collapsing in a trembling way for this is my refusal day.
I refuse to open. My refusal is an open wound.
There’s a warrant out for my arrest.
I tell you, by this curse be blessed.
We’re riding the wave. Riding the wave.
Surfing through tunnel-drills and lathes.

Now as I proclaim my love for you I share it with the world at large.
I begin to live my life anew and I am blessed to be with you.
If I ever lost you I would struggle to begin again. Through these
Finite phases I have seen my life revealed for what it’s been.
I’ve got to be brave, rinsed in a wave, then to bathe, on a spinning lathe.
