Back to the first place
Where I met you
You were okay
I was fine, just fine
When I saw your face
I'm addicted to your smile
Colour my life - make it worthwhile
Our song goes
On and on
Under the street lamps
I was shaking as I passed out
Thinking of you, helpless without a clue
What's this I'm feeling?
As I'm floating through the districts of my life
I'm wondering
And I walk
On and on
On and on

I never asked you to be mine
That would happen in a different time
I never asked if you were free
Never wanted you as a part of me
Always
Always
I never wanted to be told
The people I love were to be stoned
I never sought to be unique
But I was made or learned to be your freak
Always
Always
The purple on her feet
The neon on the streets
Stars over my head
The nights I spent in foreign beds
The people that I’ve loved
Different but they still bleed
The comfort from the lights
Illuminate our plight
Always
(turn around, turn around today)
Always
(turn around, turn around)
The neon on the streets
Lead me to where she weeps
Always
(turn around, turn around today)
Always
(turn around, turn around)
The stars up in the sky
Are our only alibi

I watch the tears roll down your face
(But I have to leave you behind)
I sorely miss your warm embrace
(But I have to leave you behind)
Your trunk is wrapped around my face
(turn away while you have the time)
Please let me go, from your caress
(turn away you’re no longer mine)
And all I know
(she loves me, she loves me)
And all I need
(Is to set her free)
And all I see
(little children making her angry)
And all I want
(uncage the elephant)
I watch her legs under give way
(everything’s gonna be just fine)
I have to stop her in this rage
(everything’s gonna be just fine)
My gun is pointed at your face
Ill set you free, from this place
And all I know
(she loves me, she loves me)
And all I need
(Is to set her free)
And all I see
(little children making her angry)
And all I want
(uncage the elephant)
You have to go
You have to
And all I know
(she loves me, she loves me)
And all I need
(Is to set her free)
And all I see
(little children making her angry)
And all I want
(uncage the elephant)

Settle Kettle
04:18

So here we go again
Another day knee deep in grains
Earning just a fifth of what you pay
Not as if life let me have a say
Didn’t get a chance to educate
But I forged on for my children’s sake
Sent to school to earn above my rate
But they spent my sweat on bags instead
Just settle down somewhere
Put the kettle to boil and stare
At the paint peel off the walls
Why couldn’t we love what we had
And look at all these smiles
They bought with hunger, can’t walk a mile
In shoes I wore until they broke
Just sell my soul, the TV spoke
Didn’t get a chance to teach them well
Bent over my life was hell
Friends I knew saved up for age
I threw my life, in the cage
Just settle down somewhere
Put the kettle to boil and stare
At the paint peel off the walls
Why couldn’t we love what we had
As I write my memoirs
Forgiven but not forgotten
All of us at the table
Watch me make my life stable

The cotton candy vendors
Tryna sell me something sweet
Pink fluff on a stick
What could this possibly be
This is no conspiracy
(no time for consequences)
This is just diabetes
(no time left for us)
And I just can’t get enough
Of that sickly sugar fluff
One more can’t hurt me
I am perfectly healthy
This is no conspiracy
(no time for consequences)
This is just diabetes
(no time left, woo!)
This is no conspiracy
(no time for consequences)
This is just diabetes
(no time left for us)
This stomachache reminds me
Of a less melancholic time
When I didn’t need my sweets
The CCC is real
This is no conspiracy
(no time for consequences)
This is just diabetes
(no time left for us)

Rome

Sons and daughters gather round
It's time to say goodbye
He'll find a path
And never look behind
But when your back is turned
All is ablaze
Have you forgotten
What it's like to be raised
I might be lost
But don't expect me to see me fall
All roads lead to Rome
Expect to see me
Roots, shoots, and baby flowers
Concrete soil with cement towers
Hate what you see
But this made me
Yeah when you lose your sight
Don't be afraid it's just night
Breathe the air that we did
And you will not lose road
I might be lost
But don't expect to see me to fall
All roads lead to Rome
Expect to see me home
