lyrics
Trembling tube train
Needling through an underground vein
Track marks taking
Me through stations
Hundreds of names
Fly by the pane
Can I get another hit
Of this city?
It was a chrysalis
When it hit me
Tunnels filled with sky
London, you're my high
Trees stand upright
Spoons clamouring to melt the light
Roots go creeping
Junkies seeking
Only delight
They shuffle to flight
They cannot get enough of it
Of this city
Each street a tourniquet
When it hit me
I came up and cried
London, you're my high
Once I thought I'd
Drawn up powdered lines on the sky
Down from dreaming
Tears came streaming
Tasting the lie
Still I reached to try
...
I was in my bed
Wary of the day that lay ahead
And with dying dreams dropping petal-like down to my pillow
Below roots and trains
Billowed from the heavens clouds gave rain
To me
Needling through an underground vein
Track marks taking
Me through stations
Hundreds of names
Fly by the pane
Can I get another hit
Of this city?
It was a chrysalis
When it hit me
Tunnels filled with sky
London, you're my high
Trees stand upright
Spoons clamouring to melt the light
Roots go creeping
Junkies seeking
Only delight
They shuffle to flight
They cannot get enough of it
Of this city
Each street a tourniquet
When it hit me
I came up and cried
London, you're my high
Once I thought I'd
Drawn up powdered lines on the sky
Down from dreaming
Tears came streaming
Tasting the lie
Still I reached to try
...
I was in my bed
Wary of the day that lay ahead
And with dying dreams dropping petal-like down to my pillow
Below roots and trains
Billowed from the heavens clouds gave rain
To me
