Kuala Lumpur Songtext
von Kevin Devine

Kuala Lumpur
Away from the world
Away from the girl
You met on the wall
Of the museum
You swore she knew your deal
Kuala Lumpur
It′s safe for a spell
With no one to tell
How you're shrinking and small
And wasting your freedom
Examining how you feel

If it′s so funny then why don't you laugh
At your if-onlys and imagine-ifs
Invented rivalries, embittered haves
No one's waiting on you to fix it now


Your fantasy spreads
Pushpins to a map
Or dropped in a nap
You ask can a curse
Have a radius clause
Someplace it just can′t reach?
Kuala Lumpur
Or maybe Eugene
Or Albuquerque
′Cause here doesn't work
You′re losing and lost
And haunted by your newsfeed

Mar-a-Lago and their coffee talk
Chocolate cake and sixty tomahawks
You turned the mind so much you turned it off
No more waiting on them to fix it now

If it's so funny then why don′t you laugh
At your if-onlys and imagine-ifs
Embedded rivalries, cemented caves
Coded clansmen, crooked aristocrats

You spiked the bloodstream once it hit the air
You said it all, holistic, nothing spared
What good's escaping if it′s everywhere?
Better figure out how to fix it
Better figure out how to fix it now

Kuala Lumpur
Dissolved in the spell
There's nothing to tell
