Lyrics

[00:01.01] What happened here?
[00:04.10] The butterfly has lost its wings
[00:08.15] The air’s too thick to breathe
[00:11.62] And there’s something in the drinking water.
[00:20.23]
[00:21.90] The sun comes up
[00:25.65] The sun comes up and you’re alone
[00:28.85] Your sense of purpose come undone
[00:31.99] The traffic tails back to the maze on 101
[00:42.13]
[00:43.47] And the news from the sky
[00:46.37] Is looking better for today
[00:50.03] In every single way
[00:53.62] But not for you
[00:56.90]
[00:57.54] World citizen
[01:00.96]
[01:04.51] World citizen
[01:07.38]
[01:11.44] It’s not safe
[01:15.29] All the yellow birds are sleeping
[01:18.66] Cos the air’s not fit for breathing
[01:22.12] It’s not safe
[01:25.05]
[01:25.99] Why can’t we be
[01:29.19] Without beginning, without end?
[01:32.69] Why can’t we be?
[01:35.87]
[01:40.04] World citizen
[01:43.49]
[01:47.02] World citizen
[01:50.43]
[01:54.29] And if I stop
[01:57.83] And talk with you awhile
[02:01.20] I’m overwhelmed by the scale
[02:04.67] Of everything you feel
[02:09.01] The lonely inner state emergency
[02:15.75]
[02:19.02] I want to feel
[02:22.75] Until my heart can take no more
[02:26.05] And there’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t give
[02:31.53]
[02:33.21] I want to break
[02:36.55] The indifference of the days
[02:40.16] I want a conscience that will keep me wide awake
[02:46.56]
[02:47.65] I won’t be disappointed
[02:54.46] I won’t be disappointed
[03:01.70] I won’t be.
[03:04.10]
[03:10.72] I saw a face
[03:14.04] It was a face I didn’t know
[03:17.39] Her sadness told me everything about my own
[03:23.90]
[03:24.86] Can’t let it be
[03:27.95] When least expected there she is
[03:31.83] Gone the time and space that separates us
[03:38.26]
[03:38.80] And I’m not safe
[03:42.77] I think I need a second skin
[03:45.83] No, I’m not safe
[03:49.60]
[03:53.18] World citizen
[03:56.15]
[04:00.39] World citizen
[04:02.46]
[04:07.66] I want to travel by night
[04:10.62] Across the steppes and over seas
[04:15.20] I want to understand the cost
[04:19.00] Of everything that’s lost
[04:22.30] I want to pronounce all their names correctly
[04:27.62]
[04:29.19] World citizen
[04:32.74]
[04:37.51] World citizen
[04:40.09]
[04:43.06] I won’t be disappointed
[04:50.15] I won’t be.
[04:53.54]
[04:57.34] She doesn’t laugh
[05:00.46] We’ve gone from comedy to commerce
[05:04.54] And she doesn’t feel the ground she walks upon
[05:09.68]
[05:11.66] I turn away
[05:14.93] And I’m not sleeping well at night
[05:18.44] And while I know this isn’t right
[05:21.88] What can you do?
[05:26.06]
