John Cale - Empty Frame lyrics

So they rode the sea, it went on and on They were years away, though it seemed so long But the captain never told them what he knew As the poor ship laboured on through the endless blue Oh, the storm was strong and the ship was so frail But they stumbled on raising broken sails And they held the heavy sky on their open hands And they dreamed of when their poor feet would touch the land Baby, we're going 'round in circles Where is this place we're going to? Does anybody know we're out here on the waves? And are any of our signals coming through? We're going 'round in circles We have no single point of view And like the clouds that turn to every pa**ing wind We turn to any signal that comes through At the edge of the sea were the signs of the dove But the wrong way out and the wrong way up We pushed the empty frame of reason out the cabin door No, we won't be needing reasons anymore
