Wire - Short Elevated Period lyrics

Skippering a skiff, in the typhoon season Open to change and in need of a hand No longer confused by rhyme nor reason Indian queens paddle dugout canoes The pa**enger matches the price that he's asking Embracing the modern he now understands It's a pivotal moment, in an uncertain future A pain relief deal done on the Frankfurt express Right up to the moment I I.D. you My reasons for living were under review A parting of the ways, what had it come to? Standing in the road, where would I go? In a short elevated period In a short elevated period In a short elevated period In a short elevated period In a short, short, short, short elevated period In a short, short, short, short elevated period In a short elevated period
