lyrics

Orange lamps hung in a midday room,
Smoke it waltzes, cigarettes they bloom,
And their grey petals remind me that soon,
We both must leave home.

As we flew through veins of lost concrete,
We saw the cobbled streets of Jordaan weep,
And as these prisoners accept defeat,
You stand with a spade in your hand.

The sun has spilled marbles all over our room,
In two nights our excuse to get lost will play through,
But don't worry your head my love, don't fret,
Those nights are still ours and they'll bleed us yet.

And the boy with the autumn leaves, he'll be there too,
While the girl will gold rivers counts studio rooms,
Where her heart could paint images of cat paws on lids,
As this marvelous red is spread onto the bed,
Where my head is laid down with yours,
And the need to get lost once more takes hold of us.
