lyrics

Do you remember the time?
The time when we crossed the line
We are tall in our shadows
It’s crazy the second time
I know you were never mine
And the Chinese bombs on satellites

Seagulls and spiders
Are all that she had inside of her
I tried to walk away
But with her web she made me stay
It must have been five
Years since I
Touched someone

And I’m so lonely now

Her father painted roller coasters
Roller coasters

'Phantom Interceptors'
My favourite Gerhard Richter
And the Chinese bombs on satellites

Seagulls and spiders
Are all that she had inside of her
I tried to walk away
But with her web she made me stay
All those times
How I tried
To love someone

And I’m so lonely now
I’m so lonely now
Only the second time
It’s only the second time
Only the second time
It’s lonely the second time

I wanted you to be there
I wanted you to care
I wanted you to be there
I wondered if you cared

And the Chinese bombs on satellites
Circle the earth like stalactites

I wanted you to be there
I wanted you to care

Reykjavik was long ago
Discussing peace we’ll never know

I wanted you to be there
I wanted you to care
I wanted you to be there
I wanted you to care

And the Chinese bombs on satellites
Circle the earth like stalactites

Stalactites,
Stalactites, stalactites, stalactites, stalactites,
Stalactites, stalactites, stalactites, stalactites

Who is right, who is right, who is right, who is right

I wanted you to be there
I wanted you to care

And the Chinese bombs on satellites
Circle the earth like stalactites
