Chorus Lyrics By Erasure

    go ahead with your dreamin’
    for what it’s worth
    or you’ll be stricken bound
    kickin’ up dirt
    for when it’s dark
    you never know what the night it may bring

    go ahead with your schemin’
    and shop at home
    you’ll find treasure
    while cookin’ 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 dreamin’
    for what it’s worth
    or you’ll be stricken bound
    kickin’ up dirt
    for when it’s dark
    you never know what the night it may bring

    4
    go ahead with your schemin’
    and shop at home
    you’ll find treasure
    while cookin’ 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 cheatin’

    4
    the sunlight rising over the horizon
    just a distant memory the dawn
    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
