Jack - The Emperor of New London lyrics
Hush my child, by morning it will be over. That last century is just smoke beyond my shoulder. I’m so fucking high, death wouldn’t dare interrupt me now. Each purveyor’s face in the evening news obituary is just the baby teeth in the smile on the face of this new century. Lets drive anywhere you want; down here it’s all the same country. Enable me. The revolution happened; we didn’t even stir in our sleep. They took it out on their own kind; on their own streets. I am a movement; I am not a school. I breed amphibians; buy and sell Warhol. I am the “and” in told stories “war and peace”. I’m so fucking high, death wouldn’t dare interrupt me now. You know why they call me ugly? It’s ‘cause I run faster than beauty. It’s ‘cause I run faster than beauty. Undress for me in a room by the docks overlooking Naza. I’ll cue the moon above the skylight. Engineer the light upon the water. As the boats pour in from Mombasa to Budapest; sing me baby, one more time. Baby, I’m covered in rest. Read to me my novels; quote me my – promises. Tied to the light of the tv screen. I will adopt my own children. I will bury our queen. I am hurt without pain; price without value; a window in the sun; despair inside the shadows. I’m so fucking high, death wouldn’t dare interrupt me now. (Chanting): Higher! Higher! Higher! |
