Clueless When Complete (0.79x)

[Verse] Pretty around the mouth The whispers grow into a silent shout Movement by the hound The one-armed man walks on the mermaid sand The grey light slides And continental colours glamour glide Travels with hatted men Apple mountains mark the journey’s end [Refrain] Cruel when complete Beauty is an isle where both shores meet Praised and ready-made Magnets in the head tick lonely in the grave Pretty around the mouth The whispers grow into a silent shout Movement by the hound The wilder man walks on the mermaid sand The grey light slides The continental colours glamour glide [Verse] Silver beneath the skin The paper sea lets the weather in Footsteps without a sound The crooked towers turn the world around A pale sun bends And every beginning resembles an end Gardens of stone The rootless trees have learned to grow alone [Refrain] Cruel when complete A mirror breaks where the two worlds meet Beautifully arranged The faces stay while everything has changed Praised and set in place A thousand empty windows turn away their face [Verse] Velvet along the wire The sleeping birds inherit the fire Figures against the wall The smallest shadow becomes the tallest of all The grey light fades And nameless colours gather in the shade Nothing to defend The map dissolves before the journey’s end [Final Refrain] Cruel when complete Beauty is an isle where both shores meet Praised and ready-made Magnets in the head tick lonely in the grave Pretty around the mouth The whispers grow into a silent shout The grey light slides And continental colours glamour glide
