lyrics

Dark glasses behind blacked-out windows
They drink champagne with no care
The chauffeur’s sent out in the driving rain
To ask directions to “somewhere”

There’s a place, a secret base
They speed they need to get there
Smiling locals tip their hats
And vapourise into thin air

it was the year that the strangers came
big black cars down little leafy lanes

There’s a shrine, a little altar
in a lay-by on a busy road
no-one knows just how it got there
but it’s left by some unwritten code

There’s a candle, plastic flowers
some incense and a card
dedicated to a driver
who hit the brakes too hard

it was the year that the strangers came
big black cars down little leafy lanes
