the emperor of new london - jack (band) lyrics

Loading...

hush my child
by morning it’s all over

that last century
is just smoke
beyond my shoulder

i’m so f-cking high
death wouldn’t dare interrupt me now

each familiar face in the evening news obituary
is just the baby teeth in the smile
on the face of this new century

let’s drive
anywhere you want
down here it’s the same country
in name only

the revolution happened
we didn’t even stir in our sleep
they took it out on their own kind
on their own streets

i am a movement
i am not a school
i breed amphibians
buy and sell warhol

i am the ‘and’ in tolstoy’s ‘war and peace’

i am so f-cking high….

you know why they call me ugly?
it’s ‘cos i run faster than beauty

undress for me in a room by the docks overlooking nasa
i’ll cue the moon above the skyline
engineer the light upon the water

as the votes pour in from mob-ssa to budapest
sing to me baby
‘one more time’
‘baby, i’m tougher than the rest’

read to me my novels
quote me my promises
tied to the light from the tv screen
i will adopt my own children
i will bury our queen

i am hurt without pain
price without a value
a window in the sun
the despair inside the shadow

i am so f-cking high
death wouldn’t dare interrupt me now…
