|
Broken free...almost |
|
Prettier than that butterfly i watch you head off through this night sky |
|
The thought of you lingers like the smoke that's drifting from my fingers |
|
While I sit, i see, there's a tree outside my room |
|
My face reflected in the pain of this moon |
|
Outside the cold rain cleanses my soul, |
|
Whole, the distance between the rooms of my thoughts of us all |
|
Sitting in that room sometimes i get to thinking about myself |
|
Love, where does it come from? |
|
For days on end i would plead to the moon |
|
Where can i find someone to strip my flesh back bare to where the word begins, |
|
Strip my flesh back bare to the wind that violates my skin |
|
Washing away, under the sun, I vanish in the street heat |
|
Melting on tar, lost in a wave of cut-throat urban values |
|
Looking for some, getting too few, breathing fumes and pipe-dreams |
|
Sliding, Holding... |
|
We're up to our necks in it |
|
We're up to our necks in it |
|
Walking the streets of this big shitty gritty city |
|
On a day when i feel like I'm living too close to the big electric light bulb in the sky |
|
Shy, the rats with wings mingle about my feet |
|
When i come to meet a man, a forsaken man |
|
He is alone, he has no home, no family here |
|
No brother, no mother, no sister, no other |
|
He cries to me, he is tired |
|
Where does he send his message? |
|
To what, to whom, to why, to where does he send it? |
|
What force is going to mend it? |
|
If we wished we could help this man and our backs would not break |
|
But hypocrisy only leaves us constantly bended |
|
He wishes to end it |
|
The progress that eats the soul of the past |
|
Demolished, lost and rebuilt |
|
Dehumanised, regimented |
|
When nine-to-five's the doctrine |
|
Give me the sky red behind the grey |
|
Buildings framed in a sunset |
|
I'm Sliding, holding x2 |
|
We're up to our necks in it |
|
We're up to our necks in it |
