Ethereal Message Lyrics - Steve Kilbey

Cold man is rich in luxurious heat 

White empty car at the end of the street 

Five thousand angels hang from their strings 

Drinking their bourbons and grooming their wings 

And they all rose up and flew 

This ethereal message down here to you 

A face at the window of the house where you live 

Tells me it's empty, not who you've been with 

Five thousand soldiers captured the town 

Bringing their dead back from the ground 

And every one of them knew 

This ethereal message was meant for you 

Down, down, feathers in the air 

Down, down, down everywhere 

Blessed generations range through the flames 

And by the smoke forgetting the names 

Five thousand mornings melt into days 

Wearing the blues and singing the greys 

And their threats never come true 

This ethereal message is waiting for you
