A two-tone love affair
A projection, a mirror
Gaunt and thinner
No green water here
Just bleached grass
Legacy of a malady
Long since passed
It's better to look straight ahead
Does your past betray your innocence
A two-tone love affair
Sometimes I love you when I'm feeling high
Then we could jump into the river
To feel what its like to die
But we'd float on the dead sea
Laugh at the eternity
A lesson in entropy
Everything breaks down and dies
Hails a new world symphony
I love you when I'm down
Arms to the burning sky
Everyone looks straight ahead
As the windows are shuttered
And interiors gutted
We're escaping no one
This downtown falls and dies, yeah
But we float on the Dead Sea
They're looking straight through me
Yet I love you when I'm down
I'm looking straight ahead
Your dustbowl lullaby
Breathe in your slow fade away
Whilst you walk on by
The model brick houses
Fade away in our sleep
We take our music downtown
And take back the streets
