The Girl and the Raconteur

I know you think they’re being inconvenient
As they’re screaming from the back seat of our car
But rest assured you won’t need their obeidence
As we kiss the brick and mortar going 100 miles per hour

There was a time we all could see the garden wall
Where every shape and color was allowed grow.
Now the ghost trees have outgrown them all
Singing "we can grow much bigger, ´cause our gardner told us so".

We rest in our bed, while smoke keeps creeping in
But we keep turning up the heat…
We’re on the last leg, but sleep so peacefully
Sleep so peacefully…
But through the smoke we saw someone who held up a sign

You need to quite down and listen carefully
Don’t interupt our most compelling raconteur
He´s reading from the ‘tales of perpetuity’
And It is brimming full of fortune but the moral’s more obscure

This tower will reach heaven soon enough.
And we’ll get everything that we’ve been dreaming of.
Oh come on gather ‘round let’s just celebrate
Who needs a common tounge when we can formulate and disipate

We rest in our bed, while smoke keeps creeping in
But we keep turning up the heat…
We’re on the last leg, but sleep so peacefully
Sleep so peacefully…
But through the smoke we someone who’s holding a sign.

Please accept my apology
It’s a matter of proficiency
I have no trouble injecting
a solid dose of hypocracy
I shamefully wear my molten crown of ingenuity

We rest in our bed while flames surge violently
But through the flames we saw a brave girl who held up a sign
Right here, right now, is where we draw the line
