The Neverness Hoax — текст песни (Steve Kilbey)

Have I told you bout the neverness hoax

A vile trick perpetrated on you innocent folks

Was it in the fall of 93

During the rise of the galaxy

A tiny shift in our trajectory

A little more substance to the unimaginary





(and you smile) the neverness hoax





The confederation was in disgrace

They jettisoned their rubbish into inner space

Sweet toxic love all over the place

Cupids agent off his face





Have I told you bout the neverness hoax

Religion to many, to others the butt of their jokes

There came a disturbance in the indian sea

Something in the depths, a monstrosity

An invisible woman kept a file on me

Trying to seduce my immediacy





The mechanical royalties will never recover

The pleasure back from her animal lover

The futures slide back one after another

And wouldnt you know it, its the people that suffer

From the neverness hoax
