Hold On Below - Lyrics

Hold On Below

Hold on below, I'm coming down
wind up the sleuces I'm going to drown
Open up the hatches, I'm on my way down

They've covered up the beauty the meaning can't be found
there's creases in the picture, distortion in the sound,
So hold on below, I'm on my way down...

You're pictures are all empty there's nothing left to draw,
Your face it is all faded and you're smaller than before,
You walk on your children they won't take it any more
You move to close the window as they're running out the door,

Hold on below, I'm coming down
Wind up the sleuces I'm going to drown
Open up the hatches, I'm on my way down

The mountains all around us are getting louder every day
They shout down upon you they've nothing left to say
And they close all around you so you can't get away
The grass is all brown and the sky is turning grey

Hold on below, I'm coming down
Wind up the sleuces I'm going to drown
Open up the hatches, I'm on my way down

Clear out the gangway I'm coming down below,
I'm making my way down cos there's nowhere else to go
And there's another lot behind me yes there's row upon row
And they all want to leave, sit back and watch us go

Hold on below, I'm coming down
Wind up the sleuces I'm going to drown
Open up the hatches, I'm on my way down

They've covered up the beauty the meaning can't be found
there's creases in the picture, distortion in the sound,
So hold on below, I'm on my way down...
