Dirty Looks for Children Songtext
von Ezra Bell

Oh well they′re all exposed
Like a cardboard Henry Hill
Of the scarred ground in some foreign man's family films
They say we burn burn down
We burn down and we build
For there ain′t no sense in the stampede standing still


Ohh here we go now
All pale and fragile
I like lakes but I can't swim
How we're gonna laugh at the pains of parting
When we meet
Oh
When we meet again

There comes a slow step in the grand old dance we do
A ducking here, a ducking there and the happenstance is whose?
I′ve waited how many moons for the riches that the rebels reap
Only to wind up with some fool who only dreams when he′s asleep

Ohh here we go now
All pale and fragile
I like lakes but I can't swim
How we′re gonna laugh at the pains of parting
When we meet
Oh
If we meet again
