Where I’m Calling From

Speaker emulation system
In the miracle strain
The weather by Nick Cave
Where I’m calling from is the dark end
The night lightning struck
16,000 times
Yeah in one night

Speaker emulation system
In the skin of a dream
Body naked sleep
Where I’m calling from is the dark end
The night lightning struck
16,000 times
Yeah in one night

Speeding across the Atlantic
Electrical storms have gathered
Losing a sense of balance
Inside
Racing across the Atlantic
Nobody ever noticed
Signs

Something good is always gonna come
But nothing quite as good as
You and I will always know
That nothing’s quite as good as
Times when we’re alone
