[Verse 1, singing: Matthew Kelly]
I've been trapped here for one hundred years
Blood, women and drink have been my
Only vessels on this vessel
Isn't there a way out, now?
Brave friend horizon, bring me back to port

[Verse 1, speaking: Rich Balling]
There's a million ways out of the city
I don't know one
"His way was to pursue birds who had food in their mouths suitable for humans and snatch it from them
Then the birds would follow and snatch it back
And they would all go chasing each other gaily for miles
Parting at last with mutual expressions of good-will"
"'Save him, save him!' they cried
Looking with horror at the cruel sea far below"

[Chorus: Anthony Green]
We're hanging from our ankles
We're hanging from this word
We're hanging from our ankles
In full, in full
My high prince, you bet I'm
Only really here to foil our end
Foil...
[Verse 2, singing: Matthew Kelly]
I've been trapped here for one hundred years
Blood, women and drink have been my
Only vessels on this vessel
Isn't there a way out, now?
Brave friend horizon, bring me back to port

[Verse 2, speaking: Rich Balling]
"Indeed a million golden arrows were pointing it out to the children
All directed by their friend the sun, who wanted them
To be sure of their way before leaving them for the night"
"Then unexplored patches arose in it and spread
Black shadows moved about in them
The roar of the beasts of prey was quite different now
And above all, you lost the certainty that you would win"
"When at last the heavens were steady again
He found himself alone in the darkness."

[Chorus: Anthony Green, ?]
We're hanging from our ankles
This is exactly what you wished for
We're hanging from this word
I do live in awe
We're hanging from our ankles
This is exactly what you wished for
In full, in full
I do live in awe
My high prince, you bet I'm
Only really here to foil our end
Foil...
[Chorus: Anthony Green, ?]
We're hanging from our ankles
This is exactly what you wished for
We're hanging from this word
I do live in awe
We're hanging from our ankles
This is exactly what you wished for
In full, in full
I do live in awe
My high prince, you bet I'm
Only really here to foil our end
Foil...
