Red Alert

Mary when you lost your mind leaving Leipzig on the 49
your feet were fucked your tongue was tied, your thighs were laced with cyanide
I came to in the Berlin winter - a tremble in my trigger finger
a grand against my wedding ringer I wrote your love songs on the teleprinter
I see the city on red alert, I'm waiting for you in my favourite shirt
a love that burns like fire, a love that stings like new
Too close to you for you to see the wood amongst the taller trees
you skin your nose in low degrees, you're right back where you want to be
A Brandenberg proposal toast, a sinking off the southern coast, another anticlimax milepost, your baited breath, your holy ghost
I see the city on red alert, I'm waiting for you in my favourite shirt
a love that burns like fire, a love that stings like new

Lips that speak of ephemera
the glitter rolling off your tongue
shooting me through the barrel of a gun
running a race already won
a sharpened knife to close an open wound
the light doesn't shine as bright
They're baying for blood at your second chance
the State broadcast of your victory dance
you're working magic in a dole queue day
speaking of what we shouldn't say
if I've said it once then I've said it twice
the light doesn't shine as bright
streetlights scream below a greying sky
warning of what has passed us by
tarmac boils forming roads anew
leading to nowhere and nothing new
a sleepless night for a wakeless day
the light doesnt shine as bright
