This is the place where they built the machine
They wipe out the drawings and lock up the dream    the hope
This is the town where they wait for the wars
They lock up the houses and burn all the cars       the smoke
Here on this map we are close to the place
The end of our journey 4 hours and days             the drive
This is the place where we stop with the car
My sister she whispers 'I know where we are'        the lake
This is the house. We've been here before
The laboratory. The long corridor                   the snake

There is a key under a stone
Look through the windows
Nobody's home
Turn the key

In a bel-glass on a table
The shoes are covered with dust
They whisper with their strings
'Shine us for mirror we mist'

Till we all fall through             THE INFINITE SHOEBLACK

This is the place where they built the machine
They wipe out the drawings and lock up the dream    the hope
This is the house. We've been here before
The laboratory. The long corridor                   the rope
Me and my sister drive home with the blues
We lifted the bell-glass and polished the shoes
Till they're black
