A Plague Of Lighthouse-Keepers:(Iv) S.H.M. lyrics

Artist: Van Der Graaf Generator
Album: Pawn Hearts

( hammill )

"Unreal, unreal" ghost helmsmen scream
And fall in through the sky
Not breaking, through my seagull shrieks:
No breaks until I die
The spectres scratch on window-slits
Hollowed faces, and mindless grins
Only intent on destroying what they've lost

I crawl the wall till steepness ends
In the vertical fall;
My pain has sailed into the sea -
No joking hopes at dawn!
White bone shine in the iron-jaw mask
Lost mastheads pierce the freezing dark
And parallel my isolated tower..
No paraffin for the flame -
No harbour left to gain
