lyrics

Red nocturnal streets
Pale moon cemetery
And all the broke back houses
In your country town
breaking up with fleeting fucks
Reruns of what's come undone
The spent love of an unmade bed
With a balcony view of the old city's silhouette
And the idols of exile
Resurrected in style
We dig up the bones
And their skulls crooked smiles
The tourists come from miles and miles
While the pigeons shit on the new facade
In the ghost towns with the old grandeur
The seeds are sown by the young urban pioneers

Five minutes of TV
While you draw a bath for me
There's nothing there
But you're still curious
You said, "honey I can't afford your fear
When another world is possible."
