brainbox - the 3rd flood

Not an edit. A song from the 2011 album "The 3rd Flood" by the Dutch band "Brainbox". Members in 2011: Kaz Lux (lead & backing vocals, guitars, dobro). Rudy de Queljoe (electric guitar), Joh Schuursma (6-string and 12-string electric & acoustic guitars), Cees van der Laarse (basses, backing vocals), Pierre van der Linden (drums), Marlies Helder (backing vocals), Geert Scheijgrond (keyboards). A lot of the art in the video is to show in what a world we lived in the fifties and the sixties... some simply beautiful, some plain stupid...

THE 3RD FLOOD
(Kaz Lux)

we're dancing in the belly of the beast
waiting for your disapproval
you take the wind out of our sails
don't blame us for not moving
it's raining tears on Wall Street
too much greed is taking its toll
although there's a lot of debating
a lot of sad stories will remain untold
we're sinking

you know I'm near you
your lips are moving, but I can't hear you
we're sinking, you know I'm near you
hold your head up, bring the walls down
and don't ever stop to love the people around

the circus has left the city
there's much good love close at hand
the clowns are waving goodbye
let the architect's wish be our command
crown of creation
new flowers are finding their way
no limitation
I can see more grass grow every day
we're sinking

you know I'm near you
your lips are moving, but I can't hear you
we're sinking, you know I'm near you
hold your head up, bring the walls down
and don't ever stop love the people around, around

though you slept during my nighmare
I want to know more about you
will our love live forever
will this love finally be true
no fragmentation
surrounded by the new-born sun
no separation, we'll stay together as one
we're sinking

you know I'm near you
your lips are moving, but I can't hear you
we're sinking, you know I'm near you
hold your head up, bring the walls down
and don't ever stop, love the people around, around

hold your head up, bring the walls down
don't ever stop, love the people around
love the people, love the people
love the people around
love the people, love the people
love the people around
ahhh hold your head up
hold your head up
hold your head up
hold your head up
up up up up
hold your head up
head up
