[Verse 1]
It will shine and it will shudder as I guide it with my rudder
On its metalled ways
It will cut the night before it as it leaves the day that saw it
On its metalled ways
Nobody passes us in the deep quiet
Of the dark sky
Nobody sees us alone out here
Among the stars
[Chorus]
In these metal ways
In these metal days
In these metal ways
In these metal days
In these metal ways
In these metal days
In these metal ways
In these metal days
[Instrumental bridge]
[Verse 2]
Through a fault of our designing we are lost among the windings
Of these metal ways
Back to silence back to minus with the purple sky behind us
In these metal ways
Nobody hears us when we're alone
In the blue future
No one receiving the radio's splintered waves
[Chorus]
In these metal ways
In these metal days
In these metal ways
In these metal days
In these metal ways
In these metal days
In these metal ways
In these metal days
It will shine and it will shudder as I guide it with my rudder
On its metalled ways
It will cut the night before it as it leaves the day that saw it
On its metalled ways
Nobody passes us in the deep quiet
Of the dark sky
Nobody sees us alone out here
Among the stars
[Chorus]
In these metal ways
In these metal days
In these metal ways
In these metal days
In these metal ways
In these metal days
In these metal ways
In these metal days
[Instrumental bridge]
[Verse 2]
Through a fault of our designing we are lost among the windings
Of these metal ways
Back to silence back to minus with the purple sky behind us
In these metal ways
Nobody hears us when we're alone
In the blue future
No one receiving the radio's splintered waves
[Chorus]
In these metal ways
In these metal days
In these metal ways
In these metal days
In these metal ways
In these metal days
In these metal ways
In these metal days
