Loyal Like Sid & Nancy

Parading to the masses, we're coming so fresh to death

I've been stealing looks from shadows you conjure with your purse

Yeah, you're walking in stilettos, but your nose is bleeding out

I've been running from the devil, but the devil's on my back

I'm decreasing, took a leave of absence from the war

If the wall is coming down, then we gotta press the pedal

Got my hands up in the air, I'm saying I can't breathe

I got my hands up in the air, I'm saying

Hey, man, get away from me

Yeah, hey, man, get away from me

Yeah, oh

Never ask for any favours, nothing I want from you

I've been looking for an answer to keep me from falling through

But I'm waiting for the voice to speak, 'cause I can't see

I hope we'll hear the sound eventually

I felt their claws obstruct and refuse refugees in the new Rome

Lock our voices in the oven like s-Sylvia at home

My eyes are on the world, and my hands anxious to feel something real

True colours tend to glisten and then reveal

Where's the love?

And why are we so far from love?

Chased by badges, ducking lights

Push the dagger when it's right

Martial law, inshallah, mi casa es tuya

Ghosting like I'm Daniel Johnston, and I'm locked up in the basement

Where Satan lies in satin tweets and realigns his facelift

The criminals are laughing with their empty, toothless faces

We melted all our gold to recommence our idol worship

We all pretend one day we'll be the greatest of the Gatsbys

Growling mouths with rabies and loyal like Sid and Nancy

Hey, man, get away from me

You pretend you got control

Hey, man, get away from me

I never asked for any favours, nothing I want from you

Well, I've been praying for an answer to keep me from falling through

Yeah, I'm waiting for the voice to speak, 'cause I can't see

Oh, we'll hear the sound eventually

We'll hear the sound, we'll hear the sound eventually
