Kim Janssen - Take Shelter lyrics
Your rating:
Golden Adelaide Fell asleep when we were somewhere above Malaysia I dreamt about Daniel and the King, there were only three men in the fire I couldn't see the fourth one Of late, I've been trying grief on like a shirt I cried in the backseat on the way to Versailles You know what's coming But you can't prepare yourself for a famine if you've never known hunger Every night I'm kicked off to sea And the elephants wander through our street They're saying the ground will tremble soon I've got some extra shoes and a coat under the bed I can hear the black bear from the zoo across the street I think he knows that the wall might be coming down soon I have everything packed and the dollar bills already folded up and hidden in my underwear Because this silence really terrifies me I've kept my ear down against the ice cold steel of the tracks So let the fire pour from the heavens Let the valley move while we sleep tonight Send a flood or a storm I don't think that I can stand waiting anymore No snakebites or bee stings No broken noses or knees I always did find it strange There was never a scratch on me You can pack up the moon now And put away the sun I don't need the stars anymore You can put out every one
