What happened here?
The butterfly has lost its 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
World citizen
World citizen
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?
World citizen
World citizen
And talk with you awhile
I'm overwhelmed by the scale
Of everything you feel
The lonely inner state emergency
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
And I'm not safe
I think I need a second skin
No, I'm not safe
World citizen
World citizen
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
World citizen
World citizen
I won't be disappointed
I won't be.

Messages ran all over town
Words without sound
Condemned me
And left me for dead
All over again
It wasn't the first time, but this time
Things will ...
Ask me I might go
Why not take me with you?

No one will be watching
We can lose ourselves

The shifts were worked in silence
Each weekend beckoned like
Ulysses' Sirens
And as the words were few
We'd listen to the radio

Something's moving
Dislocated
It's the wrong climate
No humidity
Humming humidity

And through the darkness you still provide
The sweetest love I've ever known

Nostalgia burns in the hearts of the strongest

I'm waiting on the empty docks
Watching the ships come in
Oh, let the happiness in
I'm watching as the gulls all settle down
Upon the empty vessels
