Foreign Thoughts - There Will Be Fireworks

She says she barely sleeps

And if she does it’s fitfully

Hears footsteps in the leaves

And if she dreams she dreams of

The sounds you’ll never speak

The words left out between the beat

Of clashing teeth and tongues

The roar of background hum

That blooms inside her listening ears

To be the noise she wants to hear

She only wants to do you proud

Only wants to make you proud now

And in a stranger’s bed

Head next to stranger’s head

She chokes on words that won’t come out

The TV’s turned up far too loud, too loud

So here we go again

Head on the block again

The guillotine has just quickened pace

Teeth sink in to leave their taste, of blood

And her head hits the floor

Lips still moving, mouthing to implore

«You're all I want, you’re all I want, you’re all I want

And all I want to…»

She says she barely sleeps

And if she does it’s fitfully

Hears footsteps in the leaves

And if she dreams she dreams of

The sounds you’ll never speak

The words you leave between the beat

Of clashing teeth and tongues

The roar of background hum

That blooms inside her listening ears

To be the song she wants to hear

She only wants to do you proud

Only wants to do you proud now

And in a foreign bed

Head next to foreign head

The sad song in a minor key

The sad song in a minor key, please
