Your kiss was a lonely prayer When you slipped it into my mouth I closed my eyes and held it in Then I exhaled it out The glow of the downtown lights
Casting shadows across your face As if all the buildings knew I could only know half of you And I was a snake under your flowers I just wanted to disappear Into the understory of your beauty Never to reappear But there´s a name written on your cast Above the bruised and broken knows It tells everybody that you need To whom the damage is owed
We are a wave of white noise Beneath the city sleeping I saw the train doors closing I felt your sorrow deepen Here in the asphalt meadows There´s only one thing that grows
Finding the life through the concrete Getting trampled under our feet
You set all your bridges in rows They all lead to an airport Planes drifting off into the sky Always depart, but never seem to arrive And there in the early hour Lying naked in your unmade bed I was thinking of how to tell you What my ticket read
Your kiss was a lonely prayer A single candle, slowly burning down But the light, your light was beautiful Then it´s here and now
We are a wave of white noise
Beneath the city sleeping I saw the train doors closing I felt your sorrow deepen Here in the asphalt meadows There´s only one thing that grows Finding the life through the concrete Getting trampled under our feet We are a wave of white noise Beneath the city sleeping I saw the train doors closing I felt your sorrow deepen Here in the asphalt meadows There´s only one thing that grows Finding the life through the concrete Getting trampled under our feet Getting trampled under our feet Getting trampled under our feet Getting trampled under our feet
