Sixteenth of June, nine-o-five, door bell
rings, man at the door says if I want to stay alive a bit
longer, there's three things I need you to
know - three.
Coming from a long line of travelling sales people
on my mother's side, I wasn't gonna buy just anyone's
cockatoo. So why would I invite a complete
stranger into my home? Would you?
These days are better than that.
These days are better than that.
Every day I die again, and again I'm
reborn. Every day I have to find the courage
to walk out into the street
with arms out. Got a love you can't defeat.
Neither down nor out, there's nothing you have that I
need, I can breathe.
Bre - the now.
Sixteenth of June, Chinese stocks are going
up and I'm coming down with some new Asian virus.
Juju man, juju man, Doc
says you're fine or dying, please!
Nine-o-nine, St John Divine, on the
line, my pulse is fine. But I'm running down the
road like loose electricity while the
band in my head plays a striptease.
The roar that lies on the other side of
silence. The forest fire that is fierce so deny it.
Walk out into the street.
Sing your heart out. The people we meet
will not be drowned out. There's nothing you have that I
need, I can breathe.
Brea - the now.
Fill:
We are people borne of sound, the songs are in our
eyes. Gonna wear them like a crown, oh.
Walk out, into the sunburst street.
Sing your heart out, sing my heart out.
I've found grace inside a sound, I've found grace and it's all I've found.
And I can breathe.
Brea - the now.
