Weekend in Prague (Lyrics)A Poem by Andy CrawfordLyrics for the track "Weekend in Prague" by Alternative Rock band Turn off the Sun, in which I write, sing and play Bass.Weekend in Prague I’ve got ten on the bar wall Got a night and I want to use it Had six and I want more I’ve got guilt and I want to lose it Throat stings like a man-o-war I’ve got a heart but nobody views it Slipstream to the pratfall Spray-paint to the tiled wall Away across the skyline She’s tied to the phone line Making the wake-up call And way past the deadline She’s making a beeline Out of the exit door I’ve got 12 on the bar wall Got time and I want to lose it Knock back ‘til I feel no more Except the cold of the wet floor I’ve got a six string under my heart It plays minor chords But no melody springs to mind I’ve got a stained-glass ribcage To protect a major flaw Forever wanting more Away across the skyline She sits on the breadline She feels her wet make-up crawl She wakes with the birdsong And not for the first time She’s out of the exit door And while mist clears and dew dries I sleep as the crow flies From green fields to deep azure Return back to real-time Where not for the first time I’m out of the exit door. ------------------------- The music track for this song can be downloaded for free at www.reverbnation.com/turnoffthesun The music video can be viewed at www.myspace.com/turnoffthesun © 2010 Andy Crawford |
