letra de rapture 2 - gumshoes

in the dream i get back home
the flat’s pitch black, i’m shaking off the hailstones
and i know somehow when i hit the lights
everyone i love is gonna jump out and yell ‘surprise’
i’ll take the hand of my oldest friend
and we’ll dance like fools for hours on end
i run my hand over the wall but then
the light has gone, the party can’t begin
for hours, can’t feel a thing

that’s every night for two years now
the flat’s dead quiet now the cat’s moved out
i’m drinking black coffee til my eyes go red
whatever it takes not to dream instead
but this place ain’t haunted enough
i gotta get out, gotta poison my lungs with someone else’s dust
i step out onto an empty road
the city’s dead, it’s me alone
why is it always the end of all i’ve ever known?

see it fracture
every day another rapture
the world that you knew
it’s leaving you

strolling on the asphalt, flanked
by great grids of a million windows, cold and blank
hearing the echo of every step
this city smells like absent cigarettes
now i’m cross-legged in the bus lane
a piccadilly rainbow cast across my face
i’ve never seen it all as still as this
my god, isn’t it hideous!
come on, stare back abyss!
i wanna be sweared at from a moving van
be cornered by a tourist looking for a cameraman
struggle to breathe on a train of sardines
not know whether that’s a shout, a squeal, a cheer or a scream
take up smoking for the small talk
take up drinking for a popped cork and indented stool
i wanna not know if i should say hey
bumping into folks i only barely know from school
i want it back, i want it all

see it fracture
every day another rapture
the world that you knew
it’s leaving you

i’ll wait no more
i need a witness who can embarrass me
to catch me dancing and hope its parody
i’m flailing round london til someone does it with me
or hits me
well i know you’re out there
and i’m right here
ready to celebrate
a happy new year
