canary complex - golden gate lyrics

are you nostalgic for that time & place
or are you just depressed?
you’ve got nothing to confess
the sky just opened up and you went flying to
that man and his tired skin and silver liar’s tongue
in that san francisco sun;
god swallowed up by clouds above the golden gate
red & gold & gray, he said “this fog hangs endlessly
above this masterpiece
so the people here can hide their sins from god.”

“so we can all hide our sins from god”

your eyes were widе as dinner plates
bright & freshly clеaned, unspoiled & naive
to taste the world i know you’d agree to anything
in paris you walked the river seine & la palais garnier
sat with the ghost of hemingway à les deux magots aux saint germain+des+prés
and you thought the only price to pay was removing all your clothes
for his photographs, exposed
never knowing what you owed by accepting anything

(did you know what you owed by accepting anything?)
(did you know what you’d owe for all that?) no!!

how could you say no to him when you’re already in this deep?
with the golden gate looming, the ocean at your feet
the water’s rising
i say burn that bridge and kiss the salty river at her mouth
until your lips give out
and your innocence is floating on the bay
(leave your innocence to float along the bay)
(your innocence is floating on the bay)

“fly to me & live forever
you’ll see the world
you can trust in me.”
