Codeine - Vundabar

Can you let me in?

They said, «I can’t, I can’t»

Walk around 'til mornin' time lookin' for a hand

Every single one outstretched reachin' for the light

Comin' off the engine and they burn up inside

The car is nice, the leather’s fine, they’re headed for the hill

Happy to be burnin' than the one crushed in the grill

But I’m just hitchin' a ride

I’m just hitchin' a ride

Yeah, I’m just hitchin' a ride

I’m just hitchin' a ride

Codeine

A moment in silence

Sing

Trading time for kindness

Fade to black and close the act

'Cause Tony is not comin' back

Angel rust, digital dust is hangin' in the air

Shed the light, it bursts, it shines and flirts with its despair

Shakily, a melody comes across the sky

Hits the lips of every kid and they begin to cry

But I’m just singin' along

I’m just singin' along

Yeah, I’m just singin' along

I’m just singing along

Ooh, Codeine

A moment’s silence

Sing

Trading time for kindness

Sing

No story about the blindness

Sing, ayy, ayy, ayy

Trading time for lightness

Fade to black and close the act

'Cause Tony is not comin' back (Ayy)

Every past stretched out in strands, the thread to lace the coat

Wishes are made to die and future pokes the hole
