take shelter - kim janssen lyrics

golden adelaide
fell asleep when we were somewhere above malaysia
i dreamt about daniel and the king, there were only three men in the fire
i couldn’t see the fourth one
of late, i’ve been trying grief on like a shirt
i cried in the backseat on the way to versailles
you know what’s coming
but you can’t prepare yourself for a famine if you’ve never known hunger

every night i’m kicked off to sea
and the elephants wander through our street

they’re saying the ground will tremble soon
i’ve got some extra shoes and a coat under the bed
i can hear the black bear from the zoo across the street
i think he knows that the wall might be coming down soon
i have everything packed and the dollar bills already folded up and hidden in my underwear because this silence really terrifies me
i’ve kept my ear down against the ice cold steel of the tracks

so let the fire pour from the heavens
let the valley move while we sleep tonight
send a flood or a storm
i don’t think that i can stand waiting anymore

no snakebites or bee stings
no broken noses or knees
i always did find it strange
there was never a scratch on me

you can pack up the moon now
and put away the sun
i don’t need the stars anymore
you can put out every one

- kim janssen lyrics
