Super Water Sympathy - Anthem Lyrics
Shutter lights, the starsGlitter bones and bitter heartsWatch the skies turn grey around the streetlightsSilhouettes, the streetsNeon lights and empty seatsWith twenty friends, half spent into midnightSo cut me down and count my ringsLeave my roots and wait for springOr leave me dry, washed up on the causewayAnd from the sky, you’ve watched me burnAnd in my smoke your phrases turnTo hopeful eyes, half fixed on the highwayWatching me, watching you, watching me, sweep my dust out to seaWatching you, watching meAnd ill become the anthemTo the cities you’ve abandonedOn a royal wash of shorelinesWhere the foreign ships have landedAnd in my wake you will seeI will make you believeOh, I will make you believe in the ghost of meA vigil sky, the westWhite my eyes and black my dressA pirouette, wind swept on the hillsideYou lift my veil to hear me singTie my tongue, the chapel ringsA requiem, sung soft on the insideWatching me, watching you, watching me, sweep my dust out to seaWatching you, watching meAnd I’ll become the anthemTo the cities you’ve abandonedOn a royal wash of shorelinesWhere the foreign ships have landedAnd in my wake you will seeI will make you believeOh, I will make you believe in the ghost of meOhhhhh ohhh ohhhhAnd I’ll become the anthemTo the cities you’ve abandonedOn a royal wash of shorelinesWhere the foreign ships have landedAnd in my wake you will seeI will make you believeOh, I will make you believe in the ghost of me
