Karine Polwart - Tinsel Show lyrics

Artist: Karine Polwart

album: Traces


In the East the fires are burning
Spires of stone and steel
Smoke stack engine turning
Wheel upon wheel
From a window, such a wonder
Galaxies have come to land
She sees stars and spells and spangles
Sparklers in her hand
And the eyes of ages watch our tinsel show
While hireling wages steal our dreams from our souls
In the East the fires are burning
Spires of steel and stone
Smoke stack engine turning
Wheel upon wheel
From her window, such a wonder
Flying saucers on the shore
She sees disco lights and diamonds
Bold Orion's sword
And the eyes of ages watch our tinsel show
While hireling wages steal our dreams from our souls
Minarets of industry
And spinnerets of alchemy
Belfry towers for bells to ring in
Colonnades of chemistry
And cavalcades of conjury
Stalls for hearts to sing in
In the East the fires are burning
