Song Lyrics

Oh when they beat
Upon a broken guitar
And on the streets
They reek of tropical charms
The embassies lie in hideous shards
Where tourists snore and decay
When they dance in a reptile blaze
You wear a mask
An equatorial haze
Into the past
A colonial maze
Where there`s no more confetti to throw
You wouldn`t know what to say to yourself
Love is a poverty you couldn`t sell
Misery waits in vague hotels
To be evicted
You`re out of luck
You`re singing funeral songs
To the studs
They`re anabolic and bronze
They seem to strut
In their millennial fogs
`til they fall down and deflate
You wouldn`t know what to say to yourself
Love is a poverty you couldn`t sell
Misery waits in vague hotels
To be evicted
Oh and now you`ve had your fun
Under an air-conditioned sun
It`s burned into your eyes
Leaves you plain and left behind
I see them rise and fall
Into the jaws of a pestilent love
You wouldn`t know what to say to yourself
Love is a poverty you couldn`t sell
Misery waits in vague hotels
To be a victim
