Heathaze Lyrics by Genesis

Duke

1980

[Verse 1]
No cloud, a sleepy calm
Sun-baked earth that's cooled by gentle breeze
And trees with rustling leaves
Only endless days without a care
Nothing must be done

[Verse 2]
Silent as a day can be
Far-off sounds of others on their chosen run
As they do all those things
They feel give life some meaning
Even if they're dull

[Pre-Chorus]
It's time to stop this dreaming
Must rejoin the real world
As revealed by orange lights
And a smoky atmosphere

[Chorus]
The trees and I are shaken by
The same wind but whereas
The trees will lose their withered leaves
And I just can't seem to let them loose
And they can't refresh me
Those hot winds of the south
Oh, I feel like an alien
A stranger in an alien place

[Verse 3]
Now the light is fading fast
Chances slip away, a time will come to pass
When there'll be none
Then addicted to a perfumed poison
Betrayed by its aftertaste

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, we shall lose the wonder
And find nothing in return
Many are the substitutes
But they're powerless on their own

[Chorus]
Beware the fisherman
Who's casting out his line
Into a dried up river bed
But don't try to tell him 'cause he won't believe you
Throw some bread to the ducks instead
It's easier that way
I feel like an alien
A stranger in an alien place

[Chorus]
The trees and I are shaken by
The same wind but whereas
The trees will lose their withered leaves
I just can't seem to let them loose
And they can't refresh me
Those hot winds of the south
I feel like an alien
A stranger in an alien place
