Lyrics

Here's To The Days
words and music by Benji Barton

Nebulous was your kiss when you dismissed my slummy summer bliss
Racing through silver landscape starry-eyed
We laugh at the hours marching ever close behind
And when the hand cracks down you whisper:
We are the fearless and fey!

So here's to the days we have thrown away
Under the steel in the sky
And out of these clutches we will escape
And watch the machines pass us by.

They cover your eyes and paint you civilized
And fill up a champagne glass because now you're stultified.
They smother you in celluloid and watch as you twist and you shake

So here's to the days we have thrown away
Under the steel in the sky
And out of these clutches we will escape
And watch the machines pass us by.

Into the darkened air we will dance and we will sing
Of claustrophobic affairs and dreamy tragedies
Beneath a highrise light I'll take you
Out of this wretched disease

So here's to the days we have thrown away
Under the steel in the sky
And out of these clutches we will escape
And watch the machines pass us by.
