lyrics

Spark (Kerwell)

There was a taste of dust in my mouth.
I wrote you about it when I was a child.

There was bad lightning, we were too afraid to hide.
There was a storm baby, and you called it life.

All those neighbors, running around the hills.
Beacons and beacons and one hundred girls.

The traffic was steaming, choking up the night.
All those hotels, they make me feel uptight.
I'm wide awake and I haven't been assigned.

I can't go on, another day.
I can't take you, not this way.
Can you slow down?
I'm off the ground.

You had some promise to bring me to some height.
I saw your mountain, it was full of gold and might.

Then I crawled all over your head.
I could taste all the sadness inside.
All those tears pouring out of your sighs.
That's a height I just don't want to climb.

We can go on pounding pavement.
We can go on pounding nails.
All your war paint hides your beauty.
This is your storm, let's hope it fails.

Where is your spark?
Crawl out of the dark.
Where is you spark?

What's the reason you summon me to you?
I sit in your room drinking your fumes.
What's the reason I'm on top of you?
You give me no truth , I'm lying back to you.

All the focus fell out of my glasses,
But my heart is clear inside.
I know you're afraid to touch me.

I can't go on, another day.
I can't take you, not this way.
Can you slow down?
You're off the ground.
