[Verse 1]

Shotgun alleys with lightning flowers

Under the eyes of fallen statues

Like a lion in our dreams
[Chorus]

You censor longing and organize beauty

Or without love

Lie down with me

The rules aren't always right

The hunger behind our memories

When we get them are never enough

But they lead us to the road
