The Nits - The Infinite Shoeblack lyrics
[The Nits - The Infinite Shoeblack lyrics]
This is the place where
They built the machine
They wipe out the drawings and lock
Up the dream - the hope
This is the town where they wait for the wars
They lock up the houses and burn
All the cars - the smoke
Here on this map we are close to the place
The end of our journey for hours
And days - the drive
This is the place where we stop with the car
My sister
She whispers "I know where we are" - the lake
This is the house, we've been here before
The laboratory, the long corridor - the snake
There is a key under a stone
Look through the windows nobody's home
Turn the key
In a bell glass on a table
The shoes are covered with dust
And they whisper with their strings
'Shine us for mirror we must'
Till we all fall through
The Infinite Shoeblack
This is the place this is the place
This is the place where
They built the machine
They wipe out the drawings and lock
Up the dream - the hope
This is the house, we've been here before
The laboratory, the long corridor - the rope
Me and my sister drive home with the blues
We lifted the bell glass
And polished the shoes till they're black
They built the machine
They wipe out the drawings and lock
Up the dream - the hope
This is the town where they wait for the wars
They lock up the houses and burn
All the cars - the smoke
Here on this map we are close to the place
The end of our journey for hours
And days - the drive
This is the place where we stop with the car
My sister
She whispers "I know where we are" - the lake
This is the house, we've been here before
The laboratory, the long corridor - the snake
There is a key under a stone
Look through the windows nobody's home
Turn the key
In a bell glass on a table
The shoes are covered with dust
And they whisper with their strings
'Shine us for mirror we must'
Till we all fall through
The Infinite Shoeblack
This is the place this is the place
This is the place where
They built the machine
They wipe out the drawings and lock
Up the dream - the hope
This is the house, we've been here before
The laboratory, the long corridor - the rope
Me and my sister drive home with the blues
We lifted the bell glass
And polished the shoes till they're black
