Dark House Lyrics - Spirit Of The West

The lighthouse winks across the water 

blue white streamers a beacon of light 

standing empty, whitewashed tower 

where progress and man pass like ships 

in the night 

we're watching the right hand 

not watching the left hand 

sonn we'll be watching the worl 

d turn 

with no hands at all 

we're really amazing 

this trail we are blazing 

burning the bridge between our rise 

and fall.... 

weathered old man, tending the flame 

lit a big fire for the child in me 

salty dog in a shoreline castle 

being replaced by a chip in the sea 

- chorus - 

we used to dig! lift! heave! 

now we has turned to it 

programs! computes! 

but hardly understands. 

a wave of progress is rising 

and rising 

rising over this figure of our 

history 

washing away years of tradition 

a life and love buried at sea 

set adrift among the neon and fast food 

countless forms and manpower cues 

a castaway on a push button planet 

where progress is measured my how 

much you lose 

- chorus -
