Mr 1470 Lyrics

    Here i sit in my bones, on the bones upon the hill
    Staring out at the wild, blue yonder
    Digging deep, i'd found buttons in my pockets
    Naked now my skin begins to crawl
    I dream suits, i see suits
    Looking back, was there ever such a moment
    Immersed in mystery i was witnessing a crime
    Digging deep i came across a murder
    Among the roots of our spreading family tree
    We learned to love, we learned to kill
    We taught ourselves to rule the world
    I dream suits, i see suits
    Do you see suits, can you dream suits?

    There i stood, face pressed against the window
    I know his number, but i'll never know his name
    Behind the glass buried in the sockets
    A recognition, my skin begins to crawl
    We learned to love, we learned to kill
    We taught ourselves to rule this world
    But who's the one we're frightened of
    We are the sons of 1470

    The geese fly chevrons cross the night sky
    Heading south, the hunters lead them on
    Jets trail the hems of skirts of angels
    A train threads along that very floor
    So here we live in our bones, on the bones beneath the soil
    Staring out, mortal in the darkness
    Digging deep we try to find the answers
    To all the questions that hatch within our skulls
    We learned to love, we learned to kill
    We taught ourselves to rule this world
    For who's the one we're frightened of?
    We are the son of 1470
    I dream of suits. do you dream suits?
