Four Long Days - Voxtrot

Lights are fading, the feeling is back

This is the closest thing to disaster

Keep on fading, snow white into black

The kind of thing you laugh about after

And we were stuck, stacking misery

Four long days, in an ugly town

We pretend to know about misery

And never felt the cold sun beating down

But you will soon

Watching TV, and flirting with fate

He drank my cold soul under the table

Fame and fever, to risk and to lay

You shouldn’t cry you’re willing and able

I have locked, in a great image here

Avoiding the cop, in an ugly stare

And staring back, it’s what you bargained for

You never felt the cold sun beating down

But you will soon

You had this family to support

One house and three young children, biting at your hands

I don’t pretend to understand

But listen, listen, listen, I, I, I, I, I

Have never liked that look in your eyes

And I, I, I, I, I

Am still shouting «please, please, forgive me

For what I’ve done»

What have I done?

Why is this taking so long?

The love is cold but

The engine is warm

I think of home, I think of the sweet life

Of sweat and sunshine, and sandals and shorts

We had to feel my sprain on the hi-fi

We got bored, in our own living room

So we got stuck with an ugly fix

That kills your days, and makes you forget a lot

And then you feel the hot sun beating down, and you start to cry
