These are where
The ideas were captured
Ideas were thoughts
That people created
Creation was something
That people did
And these are where
The ideas were captured
Don't be scared
Remember that Vid
Where walking along
We saw that kid
No direction
No lines
Remember they showed it
'Bout sixteen times?
Books would tatter
Like pulled hair
Dried like skin
Too long in the light
Piled like stones
Row upon row
But unlike a wall
No use in a fight
They'd lay there still
Collecting dust
Finally 'til
Finally just
One would approach
And somehow decide
To pull one towards an in
Something inside
Just like you'd
Be pulled to a sound
That would tell you to stop
And dig underground
For that mystery
Tonight's delight
Now look at the shore Son
Look at the light
(Instrumental)
Books would tatter
Like pulled hair
Dried like skin
Too long in the light
Piled like graves
Row upon row
But unlike a grave stone
No use in a fight
They'd lay there still
Collecting dust
Finally 'til
Finally just
One would approach
And somehow decide
To pull one towards an in
Something inside
Just like you'd
Be pulled to a sound
That would tell you to stop
And dig underground
For that mystery
Tonight's delight
Now look at the shore Son
Now look at the shore Son
Look out beyond the shore
There's a light
