Stone Gods

Wished I'd been awake when I woke up today
I must have been some dreamin’ when I heard you say your prayer for me
And that smile must have faded from your compelling face
And something quite different has taken its place and stares emptily

You're standing alone
With your gods made of stone
Probability
But their hands wave you on
And the moment has gone
From your memory

On the road with fortune and you meet this man
Offers you his grin and a place to stand your mystery
Have a look around, won't you be my guest
Evеrything is splendid, nothing second best, in front of mе

But he’s standing alone
With his gods made of stone
Probability
But their hands wave you on
And the moment has gone
From your memory

You know you own the city, you can do what you like
The streets crawl away and the buildings bite when they get hungry
So I dressed up my window with a hand-sewn flag
Someday it's my reward, someday it's just a rag I wave emptily

But I'm standing alone
With my gods made of stone
Probability
But their hands wave you on
And the moment has gone
From your memory

Yeah you're standing alone
With your gods made of stone
Probability
But their hands wave you on
And the moment has gone
From your memory

You're standing alone
With your gods made of stone
Probability
But their hands wave you on
And the moment has gone
From your memory

[Spoken, possibly some old interview on the original tape]
[Steve]: ...And sometimes I just feel like writing the music to a song, you know
Nothing really out of there. I feel a bit guilty

[Female voice]: Sometimes it never expects it...
