Songtext Surf's up Duncan Sheik

Surf's up

The diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along
To a handsome man and baton
A blind class aristocracy
Back through the opera glass you see
The pit and the pendulum drawn
Columnated ruins domino
Hung velvet overtaken me
Dim chandelier awaken me
To a song dissolved in the dawn
The music hall a costly bow
The music all is lost for now
To a muted trumperter swan
Columnated ruins domino
Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping, Brother John'Dove nested towers the hour was
Strike the street quicksilver moon
Carriage across the fogTwo-
Step to lamp lights cellar tune
The laughs come hard in Auld Lang SyneThe glass was raised, the fired rose
The fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting
While at port adieu or die
A choke of grief hard hardened IBeyond belief a broken man toot ough to crySurf's UpAboard a tidal wave
Come about hard and join
The young and often spring you gave
I heard the word
Wonderful thing
A children's song
