[Speaking]

Oh God, the morning rain and a visiting bad dream have been at me again
Turn on the light, put on the radio and the TV
Put on the kettle, put on some clothes for Christ’s sake

And make a cup of tea
There are many buildings out the window
But the ones which are bothering me
Are not the busy office buildings, or the derelict, neglected
But the ones in the middle distance, under construction
Cranes hovering above them
Covered in scaffold
Covered in canvas, flapping

I am two hundred thousand
Leagues under the sea
There are many ghosts
And they travel with me

The air smells heavy with frogs, like they’re gonna rain down on the square
And down along The Strand, there’s a golden light down there
Crowds of immigrant ghosts teem along the alleyway
And thoroughfare
Piccadilly Circus, there’s a boy who isn’t there

And an old women stops me in the street
And her body’s homeless and dying and when she touches me, it’s such a treat
She takes my hand in her two hands, and says the Earth is flat
How’s she know that?
How’s she know that?
Black taxi cabs, turning around in the rain
Washes through the city, floods out the drain
Like the blood that rushes through my body
To the cock and the brain
And in

[?]

remain

And I’ve been trying to get through to the upper room
I’ve been hearing voices coming outta there all afternoon
Get through the doorway, halfway up the stairway
A man stops me, I can’t make him understand
I can’t make him understand
But I can, but I-
But I bet I can, but I can-
But I bet I can
Do a handstand

I take my keys out of my pocket
My phone and my wallet
I put them on the pavement
And I leave them there
Did I come out to buy a packet of cigarettes - oh no, wait, I quit years ago
Or to pick up a magazine, check out the movie or the music scene, world affairs? No
But then I can’t remember
I can’t remember
(These ghosts are coming in)

[repeats until end of next verse]

I can’t remember
Tell Jack
And Jim
That now might be the time to abandon their ships
And swim
For terra firma
Haunt ships I’m in

I am two hundred thousand
Leagues under the sea
And there are many ghosts
And they travel with me

These ghosts, these ghosts, these ghosts, these ghosts

[repeats until the end of the song]

Cracks in the pavement, cracks in the plaza up in the blue
Smog along the river, the great days of fog 1952
This town is like Jericho, the walls will come down if I tell them to
This town is like Mexico, the sky is filled with UFOs
This town is like Cairo, waiting for the river to overflow
Here comes the river
I can hold my breath underwater, count to a million
Here goes
One two, three four, five six, seven eight, nine ten eleven-
Hallelujah!

You should be glad this is a new beginning for you
