about

a timeless track. a stratospheric snapshot of this beautiful planet, between dawn and dusk.

lyrics

late victorian

planet blue, planet zoo, late victorian;
noah's ark, pleasure park, final boarding;
furnace fires, dreaming spires see the dawn in...

children playing on a precipice,
teach your cannonball to fly;
alpha males, fairy tales,
don't you think that river has run dry?

super-powers, cooling towers, statues falling;
flying fish, make a wish, painting dorian;
moving lips, pleasure trips, airships mooring...

children sleeping on a razor's edge,
counting castles in the sky;
we saved the whale, burnt the jails,
taught the laughing hyena to cry...

children building in the wilderness
a great glass ceiling in the sky,
open your eyes, open you eyes,
see this dying world with new-born eyes;
we heard the word, heard the word,
the late victorians just learned how to fly...
