The Only Living Boy and Girl - The Crimea

Man stands

Desolate

Lonely as a cloud

All his far-flung fantasies gone

When they ripped it out

When they ripped it out

Climb the tallest tree

Watch the bloody Mary sunset

Cascade across the city

Where hope has been switched off

Like a fucking television,

You’re still out there

I don’t know where

But it’s killing me

Every second it’s killing me

But behind the forced smile

I was only flesh and bone to you

And I will never walk up those stairs again

And I will never walk up those stairs again

We could go anywhere

Even the stars

The only living boy

And only living girl

And I will always be haunted by that moment

Woke up and she was gone

I’m not angry

I’m just sad

Cannot stand this planet

When I was a kid I used to think everything would be ok

Now I walk down the street

I want to chop the head off every person I see

If this is it

If this all there is

I don’t want to play anymore

The bandstand burns tonight

And I’m going up with it

Don’t believe in waking up each day

Don’t believe in playing this game

Don’t believe the written prophecies

Don’t believe in my own destiny

Don’t believe in miracles

Strange things just happen

There are no such things just happen

There’s no such thing as miracles

But I’ll walk up those stairs again

We could go anywhere

Even the stars

The only living boy

And only living girl

We could be Adam and eve

Rulers of the earth

When I was in your arms

The whole wide world melted away
