| We, we sleep through the bombs
|
| The rush of marching drums
|
| We dream of god
|
| Won’t ever stop
|
| And they pull you from the place
|
| All in holy flames
|
| Your face chalk white
|
| Gone up in lights
|
| But I’m, I’m going back to the place
|
| Where I first saw those shy and tired eyes
|
| A strange music filled the halls
|
| Be pulsing through the walls
|
| Passed static hiss
|
| In word like this
|
| Ba da da da da da…
|
| And we, we sleep through the bombs
|
| The roar of background hum
|
| We dream of god
|
| Won’t ever stop
|
| And they pull you from the place
|
| More in hope than faith
|
| Their hands cold grey
|
| Ran, I’m afraid
|
| And we, we sleep through the bombs
|
| The sound of marching drums
|
| We dream of god
|
| Won’t ever stop
|
| And they pull you from the place
|
| All in holy flames
|
| Our legs and arms
|
| Flail in the dark
|
| And I’m, I’m still in a rage of
|
| The way you wear those shy and tired eyes
|
| With grace to find you in this place
|
| The city shakes and sways
|
| Our fingers crossed
|
| Still looks in loss
|
| And we, we all went out
|
| I didn’t dance, I wasn’t drunk enough
|
| Save your throes for later
|
| For now we’re on our best behaviour |
