Paint The Rust - The Dodos

Run into the sea before it comes

The heavy hand washing over you

I see the face of many men

Beyond the beach, drowning in the blue

They come to seek the open land

They grab a piece before others do

It’s all because the master plan

We’re supposed to teach only if we knew

Please…

…tell us what you want, we’ll get it for you

Take…

…us movers from this place we sink ourselves to

Dark…

…ness tells us we’re awake, we still can come too

Face the every day from morning’s gold

To when the night tries to overcome

We’ll leave this up to all of you

So that you leave, take it off and run

I see the face of every man

Of every girl that I’ve ever loved

They sing the same until the dawn

When we’re away off into the sun

Please…

…tell us what you want, we’ll get it for you

Take…

…us movers from this place we sink ourselves to

Dark…

…ness tells me I’m awake, I still can come too

Home to come

But now I only need you when I’m down

Amongst the rest

We only feed you when we’re out

I won’t forget, I will keep you here inside my head

Here we are

Pass the stone

Throw away

All you know

Bury it

Under dusk

Wash away

Paint the rust
