Shell — текст песни (Steve Kilbey)

Hello sweet creature

Wont you give me some bloodlike guarantee

Ive been listening to myself too long

And theyre making a prophet out of me

Im as empty as a shell can ever be

Ive been walking through the desert

No it must have been the library

Reading a book which once gave me hope

Now its making a fool out of me

Im as empty as a shell can ever be

Lazy dreaming, half remembering, half remarking to myself

Never noticed that the crowds were leaving

Never looked for anyone else

Now its market day almost every day

Yet they give away their love for free

Im just waiting for a ship to come

And its making a slave out of me

Im as empty as a shell can ever be

Lazy dreaming, half remembering, half remarking to myself

Never noticed that the crowds were leaving

Never looked for anyone else

Hello sweet creature

Wont you give me some bloodlike guarantee

Ive been listening to myself too long

Ive been walking through the desert

Must have been the library
