How to Explain? Songtext
von The Cat Empire

When a room becomes an altar
And what beast that must exist
It flies with music from our lips
And steals a kiss and blows it out into the mist
Where castles stand on cliffs
And cobbled streets they wind and drift
And moods are made and set but shift
This place where skies are low and birds are big

We went to sleep in day and woke again the same day
We have learned to cheat the time
And find the hours that the clocks cannot define
As I looked up from that stage
I felt the thing that had been made
And how it raged, and how it raged
How to explain?


Something makes me howl and shiver to the core
And outside if it was rainin′, then inside there'd be a storm
We′ve got a pair of hands for climbin', and a pair of knees to spring
And a pair of balls for strength, and a pair of lungs to sing
And these simple chords that say, "Music is the language of us all"
To write these songs is to be written
And the chorus always knows
What is in store, and what is more the thing that sings us
Is the thing that makes us roar
I felt that beast 'kiss on my neck
We clapped our hands band heard them spread
But there was a trumpet and a call, a pack of Spaniards screamed for more

Music is the language of us all
Music is the language of us all
Music is the language of us all
Music is the language of us all
I find it hard to speak emotional
′Cause these things are the things that can′t be said
And when it's struck it strikes the memory from our heads
Once I wrote to play′s to be immortal for a night
And despite the unknown hours
Something happens when the light turns out the lights
Then we fade and yawn
To music that's the language of us all

Métro, you still alive out there?
Alright
