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
