Lyrics

In the bed
On the streets without end
Quiet echoes of fall
Between buildings and flags

Sweet the world
In black coffee cup saints
Where nothing is long
Nothing's given away

Then the saints
Carve history out of stone
The absurb is filled with shame
And we turn with our backs from a difficult day

Could I read a thousand books in your eyes
The way your smile just brings you to
The sky that's wide open
And shines away, the darkest blue

Lying with you

In the dark orphaned streets without end Wild battles are fought Between buildings in flames Sweep the world in black coffee-cup stains Where nothing is owned Nothing’s given away Kill the saints, carve history out of stone In the cities cleaned of shame And the memories chirmed at their backs for a fate full of praise Could I read a thousand looks in your eyes The way your smile just breaks in two The saddest outlook then shines away the darkest blue I’m playing with you...
