Concrete Over Water

Concrete Over Water

(Kcab ym no)
(Kcab ym no s'ti, ti ees I)
(Thgin eht leef I)
(Kcalb si yks eht DNA eulb s'rewot)

I live in the city
Tower's blue and the sky is black
I feel the night
I see it, it's on my back
On my back
It makes me cry
This European air, I swear it does
Randomly ungrateful for
Grateful for a night
Solemn night walker
To our telephone talker
It's you
Maybe it's you

Oh, one night
On the bridge we stood
Concrete over water
I think you remind me of the night
But also of the day
I think of Italy, champagne
I think of Spain

I wanna be there
I want more than my head
Should've meant it when I said
Now I'm more than my head

I'm glad you take me as I am
Whatever shape with woman, man
Black or blue, a filthy cheat I am
And you still come to see the band
Light and dark at once
Never lonely in holy metronomy
So dazzlingly dark because of its bright
And truth is God and God is light
The space behind the sky
In which the darkness depends on
In the creation of light

Oh, one night
On the bridge we stood
Concrete over water
I think you remind me of the night
But also of the day
I think of Italy, champagne
I think of Spain

I wanna be there
Two sides of the Moon
Black spots on the Sun
