Work in the Mould - Dappled Cities

Say, was it something I saw

Or something you wore

That took me away in a daze

Those days when we’d run for the popular vote

Were themselves on the run

Like the world was no longer spinning in days

Like you finally taught me not to behave

When we talk like that

It’s what we’re saying when we say it like that

It’s what we do when we do no harm

And work in the mould

But who needs that?

It’s what we’re saying when we say it like that

It’s what we do when we do no harm

And work in the mould

If we’re not still working in the mould

Say, was it something you said

Or a letter that wrote itself from my head

Oh the mould, the shape of the soul

Is written in time to the beat of our kind

And we know how to dance in marvellous throws

Yeah we know deep down that the body has a mind of its own

When we talk like that

It’s what we’re saying when we say it like that

It’s what we do when we do no harm

And work in the mould

But who needs that?

It’s what we’re saying when we say it like that

It’s what we do when we do no harm

And work in the mould

If we’re not still working in the mould

Say, how will you work in the mould?
