Nocturnals Lyrics - Peter Gabriel

i dream of birds, birds without wings 

children who grew up to be dangerous things 

i was known as the postman, i worked through the night 

i made my deliveries sink out of sight 

we would wrap them, wrap them up 

anything to shut them up 

had to stitch them, stitch them up 

see how they fly 

see how they fly

we'd hold them in the center 'till we were all done 

we'd turn up the music and have some fun 

you're on your way out, that's what they were told 

and we'd mock them and drug them, 'till our stupor took its hold 

we would wrap them, wrap them up 

anything to shut them up 

had to stitch them, stitch them up 

see how they fly 

see how they fly 

Photos 

fly out low, some way offshore 

the sacking covers up their heads 

don't want to look into their eyes 

as i push them through the open door
