World Citizen (Taylor Deupree Remix)

World Citizen (taylor deupree remix) - 阪本龍一

What happened here

The butterfly has lost it's wings

The air's too thick to breathe

And there's something in the drinking water

The sun comes up

The sun comes up and you're alone

Your sense of purpose come undone

The traffic tails back to the maze on 101

And the news from the sky

Is looking better for today

In every single way

But not for you

It's not safe

All the yellow birds are sleeping

'Cos the air's not fit for breathing

It's not safe

Why can't we be

Without beginning without end

Why can't we be

And if I stop if I stop

If I stop if I stop

If I stop if I stop if I stop if I stop

If I stop

Talk with you awhile

I'm overwhelmed by the scale

Of everything you feel

The lonely inner state emergency

I want to feel

Until my heart can take no more

And there's nothing in this world I wouldn't give

I want to break

The indifference of the days

I want a conscience that will keep me wide awake

I won't be disappointed

I won't be disappointed

I won't be

I saw a face

It was a face I didn't know

Her sadness told me everything about my own

Can't let it be

When least expected there she is

Gone the time and space that separates us

And I'm not safe

I think I need a second skin

No I'm not safe

I want to travel by night

Across the steppes and over seas

I want to understand the cost

Of everything that's lost

I want to pronounce all their names correctly

She doesn't laugh

We've gone from comedy to commerce

And she doesn't feel the ground she walks upon

What can you do

What can you do

Citizen you do

Citizen you do

World citizen

World citizen
