A Headlong Stretch: ii. Continental Drift

Peter Hammill

We make the beds in which we'll stretch 
in unconscious pre-planning; 
tending and hedging our bets 
thinking we're thinking ahead. 

Out of the blue comes the given life, 
out of the window volition. 
In small miracles, in constant reinvention 
we make sense of each current position. 

Every choice that we make, every trick that we turn up 
appears in its principle sound. 
Yeh, we're self-made men, masters of our destiny, 
free and unbound....... 

In to the heart comes the brave new world 
where we're slaves to the strength of conviction..... 
I believe decisions come like continents to conquer 
like I believe we're no strangers to fiction. 

Every road that we take 
means a journey rejected 
we pretend we can still have it all 
every future we dream a virtual reality 
only vanity still holds us enthralled 
when the best laid plans of mice and men 
all unravel in the judgement call. 

Pride still make us ride for a fall. 

Surely we look ripe for a fall, 
surely we look ripe for a fall; 
maybe we just ride for the fall.
