Doldrums |
Where in the world did you learn this behaviour, honey? |
Wondering Yaletown a quarter to dead |
Dead right and if you have the money |
There’s always a cat in a hat who can save you |
From yourself and from the world |
From making decisions using your head‚ head |
Oh and what a pretty head |
Draped in the veils and silks of the new world |
A curling of jasmine smoke as you parade |
Past the shuffle of desperate men on the corner |
Singing all of this stuff in our veins is the same |
You found you a bona fide synthesised saviour‚ honey |
Found a vocation‚ got you a job |
Maybe don’t write the folks, don’t write home |
You’re as blue as the sky and as sharp as a razor |
On the move and on the edge and on your own |
Staring down buses protected by God |
Draped in the veils and silks of the new world |
A curling of jasmine smoke as you parade |
Past the shuffle of desperate men on the corner |
Singing all of this stuff in our veins is the same |
Like you were dragging a stick down the railings |
Green eyes and rubbernecks covet and crane |
You Moses the Red Sea of men on the corner |
Singing all of this stuff in our veins is the same |
Are you (All of this stuff in our veins is the same) |
Quake awake? |
(All of this stuff in our veins is the same) |
Are you (All of this stuff in our veins is the same) |
Quake awake? |
(All of this stuff in our veins is the same) |
