The Suburbs of Exile by Nicolas Ker Lyrics

Sing me a song from a place unknown
Sing me a song from here
The world will keep on turning round
From faraway to near

Set the engines to come with a smile
Set them on overload
See the fire carrying our load
Through the colours of your eyes

So sing me a song, my radiant child
My child from a broken home
There'll be joy to have and sadness to hide
On our way to claim the crown

Set the engines to come with a smile
Set them on overload
See the fire before it explodes
Through the suburbs of exile

Carry me home through the suburbs of exile
Carry me home through the suburbs of exile
Maybe the sky's an illusion
Maybe the world is a lie
Maybe all beauty's far behind
Maybe your grace did fall
But remember, my only child
That I will always call you my own
And we'll get by, all alone
Through the suburbs of exile

See me here, see me there
This is nowhere, see us everywhere
See me here, see me there
This is nowhere, see us everywhere
See me here, see me there
This is nowhere, see us everywhere

See me here, see me there
This is nowhere, see us everywhere
