scissorbills - the world lyrics

Loading...

i’m not a member of the world
i am a member of the rising sun
until the world is overcome
i’m not a member of the world

i’m not ready to live
by the notions of a passing phase
something erased by simple days
and simpler views

i’m not a member of the crowd
whose sudden anger is unearthly loud
and yet it goes like a winded cloud
to what’s on the news

companion
send me a paris drum
send me a paris drum
we’ll go away singing and drumming

now
covered with a wanted gold
throw away the heavy load
and be new

over the waves
the sun is setting on the minarets
a little boy is selling cigarettes
to a guided tour
of a lonely tomb
misremembered and deeply dark
though still with wonder at nature’s part
in a place of doom

and now lost
in a cavern of unholy forms
half a hundred in uniforms
and crying please

companion
send me a paris drum
send me a paris drum
we’ll go away singing and drumming

now
covered with a wanted gold
throw away the heavy load
and be new

they’re counting heads
but the census can leave me out
this island is the rock of doubt
i’d rather be
not a member of the world
but a member of the rising sun
until the world is overcome
i’m not a member of the world

i’m not a member of the scene
i am a member of the gasoline
give my middle finger to the queen
and my eyes to a crow

companion
send me a paris drum
send me a paris drum
we’ll go away singing and drumming

now
covered with a wanted gold
throw away the heavy load
and be new
