Closer

Tobacco flowing down and out the avenue

From drape to lung creating a new perfume

Each jagged edge attests the change is overdue

Breezing blowing through another open mind

The city talks, you know they’re working’ overtime

and spending longer nights wondering how to shine

Won’t you move on closer dear?

You know there’s been trouble round here

Everywhere I go I hear

You know there’s been trouble round

Games are played, but underground’s a new scene

Across the state’s heard polka dots and moonbeams

And in the grey we’re sinking into new screens (new screens)

Tapering out, a rattle of what could be

A shot a fate, another day’s a film scene

And in the end it seems it’s only you and me

So won’t you move on closer dear?

You know there’s been trouble round here

Everywhere I go I hear

You know there’s been trouble round

and I’ve been watching from the sidelines

And I’ve been wishing for the sunlight

So won’t you move on closer dear?

Looks like we’re going down down down down down down down down

Breaking into narratives we don’t know will work out

Welcoming the new day with my heart in the sand

Maybe there’s a part of me that loves you with no doubt

But every now and then I see your sleight of hand

So won’t you move on closer dear?

You know there’s been trouble round here

Everywhere I go I hear

You know there’s been trouble round

and I’ve been watching from the sidelines

And I’ve been wishing for the sunlight

So won’t you move on closer dear?

Looks like we’re going down down down down down down down down
