[Verse] Beyond the wooded town There lies a stretch of land In people's minds That says a little band of madness Bears a name That's neither here nor there Beyond despair and dream The barbed wire [Verse 2] Oh Ooh-ooh Oh Oh Ooh-ooh The lost and found The shoes abound The well The wishing's over Drinking makes her happy Waking is impossible now [Chorus] At the end of the world And the end of the dream You're leading me on Through cloud upon cloud Oh A mountain of smoke And the top That's where the view Is the best And the higher you go The less you will see You're lеading me on Through sleep upon sleep Oh I wonder how I breathe Every thought is pinching me [Bridge] Oh It hurts me so to tell you Oh The story's so familiar At the start of the tale The beautiful hell Is lifted in the dream La-la-la-la But before very long We're down in the mud At the end of the world And the end of the dream Oh My darling Are you there? The embers in my hair [Verse] The last time I saw you You were nine years old The gift you kept Told me that you had grown If you can Then wake To take the candle from the hearth And dip it in the flame At the foot of the bed [Chorus] At the end of the world And the end of the dream You're leading me on Through cloud upon cloud A mountain of smoke And the top That's where the view Is the best And the higher you go The less you will see You're leading me on Through sleep upon sleep I wonder how I breathe Every thought is pinching me At the end of the world And the end of the dream You're leading me on Through cloud upon cloud A mountain of smoke And the top That's where the view Is the best And the higher you go The less you will see You're leading me on Through sleep upon sleep I wonder how I breathe Every thought is pinching me
