Lyrics:
by
On the tips from the rich kids, there on daddy's dime
But when I saw her walk in one night
I knew that I would be all right in
Telluride,
From this vantage point
This scenery is connected by these suburb streets
Even when I don't know why
You put these lines in front of me
Find someone
Oh, Ellis Island was swarming
Like a scene from a costume hall
Decked out in the colors in Europe
And on fire with the hope of it all
There stood my
Ignition
Lit up the fire
Spreading around
More flames
Eating bushes
More smoke
Preparing to burn
Approaching the cities around
Houses in fire, suburbs
Ignition
Lit up the fire
Spreading around
More flames
Eating bushes
More smoke
Preparing to burn
Approaching the cities around
Houses in fire, suburbs
iLifestyle that the scene
Buka banomona
Vele vele ngikhona
Shiyi Suburb
Woz' uzophola
Buka banomona
Vele vele ngikhona
Shiyi Suburb
Woz' uzophola, ngoba
dirt I need to be in the Guinness Book
From the shit I took from people
I reap all your fat shit, jack
Back to the criminals sect
I leave crew after
I'm a menace crook
I did so much dirt I need to be in the Guinness Book
From the s*** I took from people
I reap all your fat s***, jack
Back
the circuit's full of switchblade lovers, so fast, so shiny, so sharp
As the wizards play down on Pinball Way on the boardwalk way past dark
And the boys from
I'm still searching for that scene
I dreamed of in the suburbs
Listening to records of a past already dead
Because where do you go when you want
it'd happen to me
Guess it didn't, you just fooled me
Who knew love was so confusin'
Happiness doesn't mean
Smilin' when it's your scene
You said
Oh, Ellis Island was swarming
Like a scene from a costume ball
Decked out in the colors of Europe
And on fire with the hope of it all
There my
smashed our heads
'gainst that wall,
And now I seh we must create a scene,
We must recapture our culture
By any means.
CHORUS
Babylon makes the rules
playing with fire too long, you're bound to get burned
This ain't a small thing I'm addressing
It's a big thing, take it from the daddy as a lesson
Shame,
the company of night
Framed by shops, graffitied walls
And lit by evenings orange glow
I slip as if invisible
From scene to scene
And passing conversations...
the boys had stayed behind
While mother tended to her chores, they wandered from her side
The two had gone to follow him and lost their way instead
By dusk
A way from it all
Down by the harbor
Sunset as I lean on the wall
The seagulls call
The ocean make me feel so small
The tide is high
Ships roll over
warm July
And the boys from the casino dance
With their shirts open like Latin lovers on the shore
Chasin' all those silly New York virgins by
From the bed to the wall
On the floor by the fire place
Make a night to remember
Years from now
We can still replay
Do it once then again
Till that
a digital desire
Lost in the city heartbeat, settin' our souls on fire
Love like a voltage spark, jumpin' from arcade machine
Data stream confessions,
of the fittest
I'm a menace crook
I did so much dirt I need to be in the Guinness Book
From the shit I took from people
I reap all your fat shit, jack
heart at the scene of the crime
And the night drags on, and the fever burns
Come to your senses, everybody learns
You sleep in sweet fire lost
a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity, let icons be bygones
I fire bombs, ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats, but moved on to a promise
I stomp
of angels
No escape from the chill of the ice
But it’s warm by the fire
It’s warmer by the fire
This is the script I’m not writing
This is the scene I’m not
