amelie tobien - the docks lyrics

[verse 2]
do what you’re told until you grow old
hide behind glass and concrete
it’s bitter and sweet and there’s something to lose
and to keep in this game
check figures aligned, all black and white
they dress up in color, pretend they’re alright
angel and devil, i felt like a rebel
and now i am back in my place

[chorus]
everyday i stray further from what i believe in
i’m working away ’til the tide will have come and gone
and i’m leaving

[post+chorus]
ooh+ooh+ooh+ooh
ooh+ooh+ooh+ooh
[verse 2]
well, the water’s like a mirror, mirrors seagulls in the river
as they paddle through isles of waste
and cellophane wrappers and sachets of pepper
your single+use cups by the waterfront docks
and it all comes down to our ignorance
our convenience, they don’t take a chance
as long as the money tastes sweeter than honey
well things will just go on this way

[chorus]
everyday i stray further from what i believe in
i’m working away ’til the tide will have come and gone
and i’m leaving
everyday i stray further from what i believe in
i’m working away ’til the tide will have come and gone
and i’m leaving, leaving, leaving the docks by night
oh, i’m leaving and gone, gone until the morning light
oh, we’re leaving, leaving, leaving the docks by night
oh, we’re leaving and gone, gone until the morning light

[post+chorus]
ooh+ooh+ooh+ooh
ooh+ooh+ooh+ooh
ooh+ooh+ooh+ooh
ooh+ooh+ooh+ooh
[outro]
do what you’re told until you grow old
hide behind glass and concrete
