lyrics

The balcony spins like a ferris wheel
But you don’t move, you’re completely still
And I try to stand, I try to stay
But you never stay, you never will
I know I need to get away from here
I know I’ve seen you in the blue lagoon
You know I’ve told you things I should never have said
Your eyes were sparkling in the velvet noon
The lights of Babylon, you never stop
Your eyes are Babylon, your eyes are blue
I’ve needed this, but it’s way too much
I can’t wait for the ivy to strangle you
I can’t wait for the ivy to strangle you

The church bells have been ringing for seven days
Siete dias sin dormir
Your eyes are Atlantis, your eyes are grey
Contigo siempre lo mismo, eh, contigo no dejo de sentir
You said destroy, destroy, you said
Me dices que estás cansado
I try to hold on, but everything is wet
Si me voy llorando, te asusto
If I see you crying it’s because I’m crying too
Como me miras con ojos del ángel
If you see me crying then I’m crying for you
And it’s you who put me through this hell
And It’s you who put me through this hell

Aquí estamos, aquí nos quedamos, aquí contigo pa’ siempre
We were born here when the days were light
En las manos del Sol y del Venus
In a haze of lavender white
Blanca, como las faldas de la Madre
Our mother taught us how to leave
Blanca, como la risa del Padre
Our father never rolled down his sleeves
Las noches se engordaban en nuestra soledad
For our love that never could grow
Enamorarnos de todo que, sí, podemos tener
I can’t wait for your eyes to be snow
I can’t wait for your eyes to be snow

I saw you lying on the summer lawn
Sun-sick between the daffodilles
Ants were crawling all over your skin
One more breeze would break my will
Your eyes were the color of black chlorine
The light is flickering, what have I lost?
Wisteria wilding as the black ravens rest
Sometimes I think I don’t mind the cost
The windows are open and the laundry is dry
Your eyes, a horizon of dawn
The birds have stopped singing, it’s the end of July
It’s a perfect day and nothing is wrong
It’s a perfect day and nothing is wrong
