Emmy the Great - City Song |
|
The city called me so I came |
|
It isn't mine to question what it said |
|
I sleep until the point when I'm awake |
|
I walk until there's nothing left to trek |
|
And everyone is looking for an answer |
|
And everyone is waiting for a break |
|
I came and I was bored of it soon after |
|
But I had nowhere to go and so I stayed |
|
I dreamed a lifetime of this place |
|
It seemed an awful thing to waste |
|
Well the morning fills my mouth up with decay |
|
I like it, it reminds me how you taste |
|
Sometimes I feel you rising up behind me like the wind |
|
But I still try to look away |
|
What will you look like when you're old? |
|
(What will you look like when you're old?) |
|
What will I do if I don't know you? |
|
(What will I do if I don't know you?) |
|
I guess that I decided not to ask the day I took the road |
|
Down to the city as it called |
|
Sun making silhouettes of gauze |
|
I don't remember you at all |
|
The city called me and I came |
|
It isn't mine to question why |
|
Sometimes the clouds will rise ahead, I hear your name |
|
It's like a choir in the sky |
|
What will you look like when you're old? |
|
(What will you look like when you're old?) |
|
What will I do if I don't know you? |
|
(What will I do if I don't know you?) |
|
I guess that I decided not to know the day I took the road |
|
Down to the city as it called |
|
Sun making silhouettes of gauze |
|
I don't remember you at all |
|
They pulled a human from my waist |
|
It had your mouth, it had your face |
|
I would have kept it if I'd stayed. |
