sarah slean - compatriots lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i saw my compatriots walking at nightfall
soccer games blaring from every cafe
it’s amazing how life can go somehow unnoticed
somehow so loud it rattles your brain

[verse 2]
my eye is/eyes’ [?] digesting the infinite parcels
beauty and ugliness, matter and light
oh saint oh sinner
oh ancient beginner
oh trembling river of life!
[chorus]
forgive me sir
i know not the magic words
is it the fever first
and then the fire?

{verse 3}
the neighbor above mе is slamming his windows
insults pour off me like peppеrcorn rain
i’ll answer him later, return the favor
when i have perfected parisian disdain

[verse 4]
the city is whistling biting its fingers
bellies are full of the same b+tterflies
countdown the seconds in 25 languages
oh the millions of eyes!

[chorus]
forgive me sir
i know not the magic words
is it the fever first
and then the fire?
forgive me sir
i know not the magic words
is it the fever first
and then the fire
[instrumental bridge]

[chorus]
forgive me sir
i know not the magic words
is it the fever first
and then the fire?
i know not the magic words
is it the fever first
and then the fire?
and then the fire!
