temple - thao & the get down stay down lyrics

Loading...

i lost my city in the light of day
thick smoke
helicopter blades
heaven and earth i’ve never moved so fast
you’ll never know the fear your mama has
i know your father can’t call anymore
he never meant to be a man of war
but we found freedom what will you do now
bury the burden baby make us proud

i lost my city in the light of day
thick smoke
helicopter blades
why would i bother to remember when
our people baby die and live again

look at this one
i want you to see
fashion was high
my hair was so long
this was maybe ’73
you know i have been adored by good and kind men
they sent their love with poetry
by day i gave grand speeches
at night, like you
we danced to be free

i lost my city
in the prime of my time
mud
silk
and the dust of life
i was a diamond of the embassy
it doesn’t matter what i meant to be
girl you come from the fortunate ones
gold
sky
and a first born son
we don’t have words for the way you have grown
we’ll always feed you
you can always come home

why would a million dare sink in the sea?

i don’t want to say anymore
but i have been here before
i don’t want to say anymore
find what you need
i don’t want to say anymore
but i have been here before
i have earned this sorrow
mine to keep

i lost my city in the light of day
thick smoke
helicopter blades
why would i bother to remember when
our people baby die and live again

i lost my city in the light of day
thick smoke
helicopter blades
heaven and earth i’ve never moved so fast
you’ll never know the fear your mama has
i know your father can’t call anymore
he never meant to be a man of war
but we found freedom what will you do now
bury the burden baby make us proud
