THE LAND OF TEMPORARY THINGS

Everything looks the same
Slick with rain
Lost and found
In the land of temporary things
Everything
Soft like stone
Glows like a phone
Here then gone
In the land of temporary things
Everyone
 
What kind of place would sell to children
Anything that they can swallow?
What kind of place would let its children
Die in little rooms of squalor?
 
Now the sunset is brightening
The moment is lightening
The mood
The music
With all these false feelings
But everything's right again
For now
It's exciting
In the land of temporary things

Everything looks the same

Anything that they can swallow?

Out of Place

You feel me now

The city's burnin' up

She's getting loud

You know I turn it up

Out of place

I guess it's a gift

From outer space

 

It feels like nothing's wrong

But I can tell that something's off

And the city gets colder

The further you get from the coast

I don't know how you float

But I know how it feels to be alone

The city gets colder

The further you get from the coast

And they get caught up
In all their feelings now
You know they can't stop
That's how they deal with doubt
They try to fill the space
Between their arms
With someone who looks like
Their love from outer space
 
It feels like nothing's wrong
But I can tell that something's off
And the city gets colder
The further you get from the coast
I don't know how you float
But I know how it feels to be alone
The city gets colder
The further you get from the coast

None of This is Real

Under city lights

Running out of time

I need something for the ride

I need something for the ride

Smoking all the time

Screaming all the time

I need something for the ride

I need something for the ride

 

We're just strangers in the city

None of this is real

We're just strangers in the city

None of this is real

We're just strangers in the city

None of this is real

We're just strangers in the city

None of this is real

Under flashing lights

My phone is my life

I need something for the ride

I need something for the ride

Numbing all the time

Crying all the time

I need something for the ride

I need something for the ride

We're just strangers in the city

None of this is real

We're just strangers in the city

None of this is real

We're just strangers in the city

None of this is real

We're just strangers in the city

None of this is real

K - I - E - B - E - R

City's electric at night

Every street's the neon sign

We wear our sunglasses at night

At night

 

We say "I love you" just to say it

Make a little mess

Never clean it

I love you

I love you

But we don't mean it

Don't mean it

 

I'm in Vila Velha

All my friends are with me

I'm in Vila Velha

It's just you and me

K - I - E - B - E - R

 

We say "I love you" just to say it

Make a little mess

Never clean it

I love you

I love you

But we don't mean it

Don't mean it

I'm in Vila Velha

I'm in Vila Velha

I'm in Vila Velha

It's just you and me

 

We say "I love you" just to say it

Make a little mess

Never clean it

I love you

I love you

But we don't mean it

Don't mean it

 

I'm in Vila Velha

I'm in Vila Velha

I'm in Vila Velha

It's just you and me

Neon/Off

Back in Recife

Back on the floor

Underneath the marquee moon

Pica do Brennand

Who do you want?

Who do you love?

Who do you want?

Who do you love?

 

I am not myself today

Flickering in and out of frame

Neon

Neon

On

And off again

Neon

Neon

On

And off again

It was too good

Too good to last

But we're too young

To care about that

Now you're calling me up

Saying you feel alone

Well

I never asked you

To go it alone

You can go on alone

If you want

 

I am not myself today

Flickering in and out of frame

Neon

Stranger

Met you on the Pavuna platform

Blue light glow

Flashin' on your face

Looked me up and down

A cold embrace

Another stranger

One more in the night

You were talkin' loud

Sayin' somethin' 'bout

Runnin' out of time

Wish I wrote it down

Met your gaze and then the train arrived

See you in another life

 

You don't belong here

We don't belong here

No one belongs here

We don't belong

Runnin' out of cigarettes and serotoninSunlight through the windowStill pretend it's rainin'Stupid love and anger always come in phasesI'm learnin' patienceStrangerLook at what you made me doSittin' in the subway and I'm seein' youWalkin' in the opposite directionSee you in another dimension You don't belong hereWe don't belong hereNo one belongs hereWe don't belong

Just a Number

How many white boys can you trust?

You're a heartbreak

That's a plus

Another dog in the dust

Don't worry

He was just a

Friend

Just a lover

Just another

Just a number

Just a friend

Just a number

Just a number

Just a friend

Just a lover

Just a number

Just a friend

Another body in the street
This one's got a heartbeat
Tried to buy a pack of cigs
Turns out you don't smoke them
Just him
 
And you can keep him for now
You're lonely for now
 
Just a lover
Just another
Just a number
Just a friend
Just a lover
Just another
Just a number
Just a friend
Just a lover
Just another
Just a number

Just a lover
