Blue and Grey
Don't follow pleaseCause I wander aimlessly toward the lights of the cityThe heat of the buildings, the sound of the seaAnd the seabirds see meAnd they can see three hundred thousand surrounding meMaking an island of my tongue and my bare feetThe hummingbird hides in the orange treeWhile the raven is shouting his pleaAnd we watch from our window for someone to leadThe night makes it clearThat I won't fool anyone here full of my foreign fearIn the dusk light hiding I won't disappearLove drives out fearBut fear steals from love and my scared heart has taken so muchThat my arms can't hold up the weightSo there are tired dark trees that surround meAnd they're growing the loneliest thingsI lay in between them and try and find sleepBut the roots come up from underneathI hide in the black earthSongtexteI hide in the seedI hide in my sunburnI hide incompleteOur dreams dig deep in a rainbowBut we clothe ourselves in blue and greyThey say it's shame that is keeping us safeBut it's shame that keeps us locked away Aus Songtexte Mania
