Transience

Istanbul today You said on the phone But I'm barely awake You've been away for too long My love I've gone strange White birds falling down from the sky Into the riverbed filled with ink It swallowed up all light And I will be snowed in as of tonight I haven't been outside for days If they're looking to be entertained I wonder who they came for Now everything I have left is on this stage We load the car and drive off to any goddamn place Last night in my sleep I climbed out the window Saw a red tree glowing, floating in the air Oh ooh oh oh oh I keep the thought of you a flame How will I survive in this world gone mad? There's no way now to find you, to find you No human touch can bring me there Now music takes me places oh just like you, just like you How will I survive in this world gone mad? There's no way now to find you, to find you No human touch can bring me there Now music takes me places oh just like you, just like you How will I survive in this world gone mad? There's no way I can find you, find you No human torch can bring me where music takes me Places oh just like you, oh just like you
