the airborne toxic event - this is london lyrics

Loading...

this is london, the place where you’re a god or a disgrace
the whole wide world at your feet to see the look upon your face
as you watch the bbc and you think, “well, what if that was me?”
such a promising life to waste

you told me, “just be brave. remember all the gifts you gave
and how you felt like you were saved
like you were singing from beyond the grave.”
and you said you’d wait for me until the day i could sing on key
“there’s just something about your face.”

then you’d call, i could feel your body fall down next to me
and i wanted us to be fast asleep, closer than anything to me
like we were home again…

there was just no way to know what was real and what was show
a future unfolding before my eyes, and a past that i could not let go
and how the feeling is so deep
when you’re running down the london streets
like there’s nowhere left to go

among the faceless dizzy wh0r-s, the unimaginable bores
evenings stumbling from the pub, mornings shivering on the floor
then the careless way you say, “yeah, we were just glad we got to play.”
when you’re empty to the core

then you’d call, i could feel your body fall down next to me
and i wanted us to be fast asleep, closer than anything to me
like we were home again
i’m so tired of the rain

this is london, the place where you get lost without a trace
among the beautiful remains of this shattered human race
all the words that go unsaid, all the sacrifices of the dead
“we’ll fall quietly into the past or we’ll just burn the streets instead”
in the clamoring of the crowd, you think, “i’ll just stay quiet, instead.”

all the fallen dizzy angels crawling through the street
the pleas of people weary on their feet
and you’re half a world away from me
as the clouds drown the light

i wonder where you are tonight
