Bridges over borders Lyrics by Spoons

Bridges Over Borders

1986

The world is turning circles
Around you
The stars all streak like headlights
Through the room
Then like a crystal ball all cloudy
Suddenly it gets crystal clear
Like a dream without an anchor
It¹s floating through the midnight air
It¹s knocking at my door
Knocking

I¹m taking
Bridges over borders
I got a new plan
I got to work it out
I¹m taking
Bridges over borders
Scrap the discipline
Scrap everything

You thought that you¹d be clever
That you¹d fool time
But this will be forever
No more lies
Like a windowpane all foggy
Something comes and wipes it clean
Like ambitions long forgotten
The picture¹s coming back to me
It¹s knocking at my door
Knocking

I¹m taking
Bridges over borders
I got a new plan
I got to work it out
I¹m taking
Bridges over borders
Scrap the old plan
Throw it out
I¹m taking
Bridges over borders
Scrap the discipline
Scrap everything
Throw it away!
