[Verse 1]
All the clouds are black, mother is cried out
Someone else broke my fall
I don't remember
Internationally bastardised
Internationally tongue-tied
The truth is I'm not sorry
It's bigger than the both of us
A pillar of salt, a box of want
You were pulled out of the embers
It was never my intention
All the clouds are black, mother is cried out

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 1]
Summertime has come and gone (Ohhhh...)
All used up with wishful thinking
Get sussed out, get cynical (Ohhhh...)
In this world, there are no second chances

[Verse 2]
You don't need to preach to me
I'm a believer, baby
You don't need to preach to me
I'm a believer
If you want lies, I can tell them
If you want lies, I got 'em
All the pennies in the Thames
Will not make it how it was

[Chorus 2]
Summertime has come and gone (Ohhhh...)
All used up with wishful thinking
Get sussed out, get cynical (Ohhhh...)
In this world, there are no second chances

[Chorus 3]
Crawling 'round on all fours (Ohhhh...)
You get a kick on yourself into a circle
I will tear myself apart (Ohhhh...)
If you promise to paint me

[Bridge]
As a work of art, as a work of art
As a work of art, as a work of art
You're my work of art, you're my work of art
You're my work of art, you're my work of art
Art, art, art, art, art, art
Al- al- al-

[Outro]
Always new depths, always new depths
Always new depths, always new depths
Always new depths, always new depths
Always new depths, always new depths
(Always new depths...)
