Marillion

Marillion are a British rock band, formed in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England, in 1979. Their recorded studio output since 1982 is composed of seventeen albums generally regarded in two distinct eras, delineated by the departure of original frontman Fish in late 1988, and the subsequent arrival of replacement Steve Hogarth in early 1989. All four albums released with Fish were commercial successes, and the band released eleven Top 40 hits on the UK Singles Chart, including 1985's "Kayleigh", which reached No. 2 and became their biggest hit single. more »

Where do we go from here? 
Where do we go from here, where do we go from here 
Where do we go from here, where do we go from here 
They boarded up the synagogues, Uzis on a street corner 

You can't take a photograph of Uzis on a street corner 
The DJ resigned today they wouldn't let him have his say 
Surface scratched where the needles play, Uzis on a street corner 
Where do we go from here 

Terror in Rue de St. Denis, murder on the periphery 
Someone else in someone else's pocket 
Christ knows I don't know how to stop it 
Poppies at the cenotaph, the cynics can't afford to laugh 

I heard in on the telegraph there's Uzis on a street corner 
Where do we go from here, where do we go from here 
The more I see, the more I hear, the more I find fewer answers 
I close my mind, I shout it out but you know it's getting harder 

To calm down, to reason out, to come to terms with what it's all about 
I'm uptight, can't sleep at night, I can't pretend everything's all right 
My ideals, my sanity, they seem to be deserting me 
But to stand up and fight I know we have six million reasons 

They're burning down the synagogues, Uzis on a street corner 
The heralds of the holocaust, Uzis on a street corner 
The silence never louder than now, how quickly we forgot our vows 
This resurrection we can't allow, Uzis on a street corner 

Where do we go from here, where do we go from here 
We buy fresh bagels from the corner store 
Where swastikas are spat from aerosols 
I sit in the bar sipping iced White Russian 

Trying to score but nobody's pushing 
And everyone looks at everyone's faces 
Searching for signs and praying for traces of a conscience in residence 
Are we sitting on a barbed wire fence 

Racing the clouds home, racing the clouds home 
We place our faith in human rights 
In the paper wars that tie the red tape tight 
I know that I would rather be out of this conspiracy 

In the gulags and internment camps frozen faces in nameless ranks 
I know that they would rather be standing here besides me 
Racing the clouds home, racing the clouds home 
You can shut your eyes, you can hide it away it's gonna come back another day 

Racing the clouds home, are we racing the clouds home 
Racing the clouds home
