lyrics

Wait for the fireworks
In a single flash
A thousand angry dogs unleashed
On the boulevard, in the little square, on the street
I feel ashamed

We all saw it
When the fat cop threw his final punch
But you didn’t mind
Tasting blood
‘cause it’s the very blood that runs in you

Wait for a signal flare,
The clasping of hands,
The sound when it all gives in
And love
Tumbling down

I thought about the time when you reflected on the architecture when it grew so exhausted and old a withered monument collapsing due to pressure from within and I remembered your body
and wondered “how to apply such measurements to some sort of solid structure?” and I thought about us laughing at breakfast when you said “oh, to pour myself unto whatever you’re having: the oatmeals of sadness, o longfaced one?” and I thought about you when you were grasping for air at the airport when everyone was clapping and you said “do you think all the shit is split equally? do you think it will pour down upon you and me? do you think I’d be talked to by security if I would cry or just start screaming? I’m going to sleep forever tomorrow”

Tonight
On a boulevard, in a little square
A thousand people fell asleep
Walk home through the gardens
Pray for summertime
Pray for a little rain
And barricades
