New Wave (feat. Elvis Costello)

Where do we go from here?

If our house is burning

Streets are all running with rain

I'm on a train with no destination

If paper was valued like gold

And feathers and scales were bought and sold

They'd be fishing for fortunes and that's why

They've stolen the birds from the sky

We're raising our glasses to cheer

If we can find our way out of here

If we can just drain the tap

Unfold the treasure map

And maybe in sorrow

Beg, steal or borrow

We were born yesterday, but we are blamed for tomorrow

Everybody join our carnival

Just to be a particle

Old hands stretch out of the grave

Saying, "That's a new wave"

So praise the rays of the sun

They keep the hope in

Fly high with ten thousand souls

Let go my hand while I take the controls

Better to love this world

So cruel and so complex

Than to live every day of our lives afraid of the next

Everybody join our carnival

Just to be a particle

Old hands stretch up from the grave

Say, "That's a new wave"

Freely we are sailing, even if we're failing

Mistakes are made of gold

Mistakes are made of gold

Vabljeni vsi na karneval

Da se odrinemo od tal

Generacija ljubezni, upanja, novi val (That's a new wave)

Delajmo napake

Čisto iz vsake

Izpira se zlato

That's a new wave

That's a new wave
