David Sylvian ~ World Citizen (I won’t be dissapointed)

World Citizen (I Won’t Be Disappointed) David Sylvian & Ryuichi Sakamoto 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 if I stop And talk with you awhile I’m overwhelmed by the scale Of everything you feel The lonely inner state emergency I want to feel Until my heart can take
