marc heal - tiananmen lyrics

i looked at the face of a lost boy in a photograph
it was to be given to me by the hands of a dissident man
drank spirits from a quart in an anonymous apartment
somewhere on a fourth floor above tiananmen
he was making a film about government corruption
smoked cheap cigarettes until his t++th turned yellow
he said don’t shiver in the cold air
the shroud that hangs above the square
the temperature is always zero there

there’s a laser beam in the sky tonight
does a figure of 8 from the left to the right
looks like it’s searching for you

why do you always wear black sunny?
in my country it is the colour of death

i can almost feel the truncheons on your pale skin
you say you left it too late to get married
you would have made a good wife you could have had a quiet life
in a village somewhere a long way from tiananmen
that boy in the photograph i don’t think he ever existed
i don’t think you want to remember do you, sunny?
because you know that there’s something worse
do you belong to the christian church?
if you think it would help then i will pray for you
hey sunny
why do you always wear black?
in my country it is the colour of death
