Swimming to Cambodia |
The flicker of the tv and a long forgotten memory |
Are the only things you’ll ever leave behind |
The dust that’s on the floor, there’s noone at your door |
Now tell me, do you really think you’re free? |
The war is done, my friend, you fought until the end |
You threw your white flag down |
Morning, noon and night, you always seemed to lose the fight |
Spalding, where the hell are you? |
You say that the grasses are greener and everything’s cleaner on their shores |
Today is the day where you’re going to swim to cambodia |
You once were lit ablaze with the fire of your younger days |
You blinded everyone you met |
You never were the same, since dublin’s night consumed your flame |
And stole the matches from your pocket |
The hudson’s freezing, but your braincells keep on squeezing 'round the |
Thought that you must swim away today |
From the staten island ferry on the coldest night in january |
It’s cambodia or bust |
You once had feared the man who held you in his hand |
And controlled you when you sleep |
But now the end’s your friend, you’re reaching to extend |
Your white flag to the sky you once had cursed |
The sun is sinking and your frozen eyes are blinking |
At the cold atlantic nothingness ahead |
You take a deep sigh as you wave a passing goodbye |
And you set your course and swim away |
You say that the grasses are greener and everything’s cleaner on their shores |
Today is the day where you’re going to swim to cambodia |
