The Cities That You've Burned - Adam Haworth Stephens

So amused the six street peddlers come to sing your blues

The money spent to dam the rivers of your discontent

You got your invitation to the bachelor's ball

And you stay out till the sun comes creeping up your bedroom wall

Ivory tower you sit and wile away the idle hours

Skin and bones the city streets below just weep and moan

But from your window above you only hear the rain

You touch the world through a glove it's so much easier than feeling pain

And they're inventing hunger in the Grey of dawn

As I sit among your parliament of pawns

Just growing younger with every yawn

And in the ashes of the cities that you've burned

We'll sit and wait for your return

So composed wake on the floor in your designer clothes

And so refined you think the country is just a state of mind

Switch like a switchblade my love cut the young man down

You've been to heaven above but your feet have never touched the ground

And we brought you roses in eternal bloom

While you stand before us in your royal plume

Holding a torch to your silver spoon

And in the ashes of the cities that you've burned

We'll sit and wait for your return
