Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I look down from my window
To the island where I'm held
Listen while you're sleeping
Darkness is itself
[Verse 2]
Tomorrow I'm disappearing
'Cause the trees are ampllified
Never-ending broadcasts
To which I do not aspire
[Verse 3]
Kid, the mausoleum's fallen
The perfect avenues
Will seem empty without you
And the pink light that bathed the great leaders
Is fading
[Verse 4]
By the time your sun is risin' there
Out here, it's turning blue
The silver rockets comin'
And the cherry trees of Pyongyang
I'm leavin'
[Verse 5]
I feel like I am floatin'
Processed in autotune
The never-endin' roll on
To the palace of the doomed
The temperature keeps fallin'
And soon there will be no lights
Just a red glow and a glass coffin
Watched by someone through the night
[Verse 6]
Kid, the mausoleum's fallen
And the perfect avenues
Will seem empty without you
And the pink light that bathed the great leaders
Is fading
[Verse 7]
By the time your sun is risin' there
Out here, it's turning blue
The silver rockets comin'
And the cherry trees of Pyongyang
I'm leaving
[Verse 8]
Kid, the mausoleum's fallen
The perfect avenues
Will seem empty without you
And the pink light that bathed the great leaders
Is fading
[Verse 9]
By the time your sun is risin' there
Out here, it's turning blue
The silver rockets comin'
And the cherry trees of Pyongyang
I'm leaving
