[Verse 1] Your kiss was a lonely prayer When you slipped it into my mouth I closed my eyes and held it in Then I exhaled it out The glow of the downtown lights Casting shadows across your face As if all the buildings knew I could only know half of you And I was a snake under your flowers I just wanted to disappear Into the understory of your beauty Never to reappear But there's a name written on your cast Above the bruised and broken bones It tells everybody that you need To whom the damage is owеd [Chorus] We are a wave of whitе noise Beneath the city sleeping I saw the train doors closing I felt your sorrow deepen Here in the asphalt meadows There's only one thing that grows Finding the life through the concrete Getting trampled under our feet
[Verse 2] You set all your bridges in rows They all lead to an airport Planes drifting off into the sky Always depart, but never seem to arrive
