Cedars Of Lebanon |
Yesterday I spent asleep |
Woke up in my clothes in a dirty heap |
Spent the night trying to make a deadline |
Squeezing complicated lives into a simple headline |
I have your face here in an old Polaroid |
Tidying the children’s clothes and toys |
You’re smiling back at me, I took the photo from the fridge |
Can’t remember what then we did |
I haven’t been with a woman, it feels like for years |
Thought of you the whole time, your salty tears |
This shitty world sometimes produces a rose |
The scent of it lingers and then it just goes |
Return the call to home |
The worst of us are a long drawn out confession |
The best of us are geniuses of compression |
You say you’re not going to leave the truth alone |
I? |
m here cos I don’t want to go home |
Child drinking dirty water from the river bank |
Soldier brings oranges he got out from a tank |
I’m waiting on the waiter, he’s taking a while to come |
Watching the sun go down on Lebanon |
Return the call to home |
Now I’ve got a head like a lit cigarette |
Unholy clouds reflecting in a minaret |
You’re so high above me, higher than everyone |
Where are you in the Cedars of Lebanon? |
Choose your enemies carefully cos they will define you |
Make them interesting cos in some ways they will mind you |
They’re not there in the beginning but when your story ends |
Gonna last with you longer than your friend |
