Everyday News

All of the pieces which make up your mind
All of the stories and all of the lies
The kites in your window, the cradle inside
The angel who quivers, the fable which died
I'd paint you a picture but you change every day
From a nun in Calcutta to a bride in Bombay

Do you want to read me like I read you
Are you tired of the pantomime of the everyday news

The body you walked in, the lines of your face
The friendships you treasure and the ones you misplaced
The ghosts in your wardrobe, the crowns in display
The nights you discouraged me to encourage the rain
I'd write you a letter but you move every day
From the slums in Calcutta to a Beach in Bombay

Do you want to read me like I read you
Are you tired of the pantomime of the everyday news

The prison of sameness, the window of trust
The gleam and the brightness, the mould and the rust
Tomorrow's a statue we are chiselling today
Let's travel to China, let's move to LA
Let's travel to China, let's move to LA
