lyrics

When I was a child, I could speak through a flower
to the other side of the world.
Dragon east, this is dragon west.
Come out, come out with your colors unfurled.
In these Balkanized international skies,
private oceans of the word,
All I ever did, I did it all for the love of a fictional
girl.
All the words that I spoke that I thought were a code
were a code but none that I knew.
The Great Wall and the Taj Mahal: cryptological love
letters too.
All the bridges I built were just sets for a film
and they’re set to be blown up today.
and should you ever decided to be real, you’d best
stay the fuck away.
